I agree completely. I'm going to call AOPA tomorrow and find
out why permanent residents are not part of their lobbying effort.

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

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!!
