It isn't my rule. I think it is stupid and misses the
point. Anybody can learn to fly with a PC and $25 worth of
software anywhere in the world. At least enough to hijack
and crash.

I know that FSI, Cessna and Beech have lost a lot of
business because of the rules.
Yep, there are citizens who are crazy Muslim terrorists,
crazy redneck fundamental Christians, and just plain crazy.

But the rules are the rules, I'm just a messenger for the
messenger.
