Default Colorado Representative calls for "no fly zones" over prisons.

Recently, james posted:

Morning all -- only been a lurker for a while as I haven't been FLYING
in a while, (damn house takes too much money). But regarding
advocacy: Pueblo rep Buffie McFayden, (let the jokes fly), is
calling for no-fly zones over state and federal pens. I just heard a
portion of the interview on our public radio station KCFR, and among
her reasonings is "it's possible for small airplanes to drop riot gear
into prison yards".

The prison she's talking about is the supermax prison in Colorado,
which is already among the most secure in the country.

Here's the link - The audio should be posted soon. I'm e-mailing
this to AOPA as well.

Colorado Lawmakers Call for Better Security at Supermax
Colorado lawmakers are asking federal officials to improve security
at the state's Supermax prison, home to some of the nation's most
dangerous criminals. Ryan Warner talks to Democratic state
representative Buffie McFayden, whose district, near Pueblo, includes
Supermax.

All the best - james www.futuregringo.com

As whacky as this might seem, it is at least more plausible than the
imaginary threats that have resulted in other "no-fly zones". One obvious
fault in Buffie's logic is that those willing to break major laws by
providing weapons to incarcerated criminals are not likely to care about
such minor issues as no-fly zones. Perhaps one of her constituents could
point this out to her?
