Nearly a million pilots in this country don't deserve to be portrayed
as potential terrorists night after night in the media either, but it
happens and I don't see any end in sight. OF COURSE, I don't actually
want to see a Cessna shot down. I'm just frustrated by the situation.
As I said in my post, I expressed a wild thought. I immediately knew I
shouldn't have.

How do we get the media, and subsequently the American people to
understand that these small airplanes are flown by our American friends
and neighbors? I give up. The only way I could see the media EVER
showing that picture is if they had to do a story on the American
family shot out of the sky. The picture they like is the pilot on the
ground surrounded by agents.

But I'd better shut up. I'm going to be very misunderstood again.
