What irks me is that people so quickly decide that small and large
airplanes should be treated differently, to the disfavor of small
airplanes.

That's because the average person's only interest in aviation is as
transportation, via commercial airline flights. Big airplanes are
needed for commercial airline flights; small airplanes are not.
Therefore most people are perfectly willing to outlaw small aircraft
entirely, because such a ban has no effect on them; whereas they make
an exception for large aircraft, because they need large aircraft for
their own occasional airline travel.

Those cowards on the news claim shock that a small airplane
can fly overhead when those small airplanes had nothing to do with the
2001/09 attack.

Yet mention the idea that large aircraft should be kept 30 miles away, and
nobody seems to like that idea...despite that idea being consistent with
their claimed fears.

It's irrational.

You don't need an aircraft to transport bombs or weapons, as Oklahoma
City proved, so all the fears are irrational.
