the better question is if the security people are ever going
to grasp how little danger GA poses.

True, but the issue is not what is reality, but what the public perceives.
If the general, non-flying public perceives GA to be a danger (incorrectly
reinforced by silly comments made by unthinking FBO owners), they will
pressure their congressmen/woman to push for even more restrictions over
GA.

There are at least two issues. We (GA) cannot survive if we allow the security
folks to misrepresent the dangers of GA. But we also must address the gross
ignorance of the non-flying public. ****ing away resources to address imaginary
security concerns drains resources from addressing actual security problems.
