And just to top it all off ... AOPA doesn't care.

http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsite...040923tsa.html

Not even a mention of Permanent Residents. Not even a mention that permanent
residents already went through background checks, finger printing, they are
already on file with the Departement of Homeland Security (no less) ...
nothing.

I am an AOPA member but as far as they are concerned I do not exist.

I might even understand where the TSA is coming from and I might even
appreciate that they are trying to defend this country, since after all, I
live here too and my wife works in Manhattan and I really don't want to go
through another day like 9/11.

But at least, I expected the AOPA to stand up for us and try to make the
point!!
