Yes you are so correct George..what should be illegal searches are the norm.
And the sheeple do not complain, that being the case can we not all realize
the difficulty of telling the public at large the ADIZ is not needed? I just
think it would be impossible without getting some "critter" folk onboard a
Class Bplus to give the false sense of security and like I said it appears
that the Gov has done something to protect the voters. Not the small number
of pilot voters but the public at large voters.
The people DO have the power , but it is the larger public not a small
group. If you and I stop taking commercial flights because we feel the
searches are against our Constitutional freedom nobody cares..if 95% of the
flying public did the same it would have impact.
It will take the larger group to make a difference in the ADIZ , not
just a few of us. Thus the need for a petition signed not just by us
aviation nuts but the public ...as many as we could possibly get. If the
powers that be saw the public at large thought it was a waste of time and
money and thought more about their freedom to fly with friends if they so
chose ,..then that is how the red tape would see it as well.
It's a hard row to hoe when the public has very little concern over
their own rights as a whole. A letter signed by 100,000 pilots would get as
much attention as me going in the meeting and singing "Zippidy Doo Dah"..I'd
get a weird look and they would move right along and do what they plan on
doing anyway. What a shame too! I have such a lovely singing voice!!!!

No more illegal than searching airline passengers stuff. As the mayor
says, you don't want to be searched, that's fine. Don't ride the subway.
