I don't think we will survive anyway. There are just too few of us in a
country of over 300 million people.

It will be fairly easy to make some draconian rules, as one sees in Europe,
that will essentially put us out of the air.

All it will take is one person flying a small plane into a stadium loaded
with either a small bomb or toxic chemical to ground us for keeps.

If one remembers, the planes responsible for the carnage of Sept 11 were all
large jetliners yet we were grounded for weeks.

the better question is if the security people are ever going

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.
