Two thoughts about all of this:

Support AOPA, EAA, and SSA as they do their best to jointly guide TSA =
back to sanity. They may need your help at some point, $ and Letter =
writing to appointed and elected officials.

Burt's operation is in a hotbed of Border Patrol activity, a large =
headquarters, a training facility on the airport he operates from, =
nearby checkpoints, and heavy patrolling. While visiting last year, I =
left my car parked and running, the drivers door open, and parked right =
at the door to my room while carrying items in. In the time it took me =
to make one trip, I returned to find a friendly Border Patrol officer, =
with hand on 9mm Glock waiting to find out who I was and to inform me =
that there was no shortage of pedestrians in the area, more than willing =
to borrow my SUV. If these folks were to stumble into an aircraft =
related incident, it would not be long until TSA and the FAA were =
involved. Attention Burt really does not need.

Secondly, on November 2nd, US voters need to keep in mind which =
candidate they may vote for that could deliver more TSAs to delve into =
our lives at our expense - AND PULL THE OTHER LEVER! You know who I am =
referring to!
