What would be wrong with mandating better security at GA airports?

For what purpose?

Last weekend three radios were stolen out of planes at my field. Best
estimate for a fence to completely surround the 2000 foot runway is $ 1/2
million. I can't see spending $1/2 million to safeguard $6000 worth of
radios.

I know of no realistic security threats posed by GA aircraft. The kid in
Florida proved that a Cessna can do just as much damage to a skyscraper as a
baseball. He broke the windows.

What would be wrong with enforcing noise abatement?

Flew out of Duchess County airport last week. A sign on the taxiway said to
obey noise abatement procedures. Problem is the noise abatement procedures
aren't published.

What would be wrong with charging people for the services they use?

Flip side of the coin. I pay $0.19 per gallon federal tax, yet my airport
received NO federal funding.
