I, for one, am amazed and thrilled that the bureacrats actually
bothered to check something, for a change. The fact that We the
People are paying monthly "diability" stipends to physically-fit
pilots is a scandal that should rock the Social Security
administration -- not the FAA.

Unfortunately we pilots are the easier target to hit.

Correct Jay. And that should be the point hammered home by AOPA and every
aviation supporter addressing this issue. The majority of these cases are
probably completely physically fit individuals who are scamming SSA not the
FAA.
