Paul has it right.
The article shows that the author did her homework, and reported the AOPA
side of the story fairly accurately. That's proof that it's working, and we
have to keep hammering away at it.

While there were some accurate statemnents, saying that this author
did her homework seems a bit over the top. You must have a much lower
standard for your news than I do. Were GA airports really closed down
for 3 months following 9/11 while the TSA pondered searches and metal
detectors at those types of airports? If that really happened, I must
have just arrived from a parallel universe. Was the drunk 20-something
kid who stole the plane last week flying around for 5 hrs. (no) until
he was "detected" (no) and forced to land (no)? It would seem to me
that the most basic surfing of a few actual news sites would have
provided some factual information concerning these events. This story
has all the earmarks of someone who was just too lazy to do even the
most basic research.

Meanwhile - the world has changed, and no, it is no longer cool to park an
aiplane in an open access area with the key readily available. Get
real, and get over it.
