I think this is a pretty good idea. They work most of the time on the
street why shouldn't they work at the airport?

Runway Red Lights -- Solution Or Stopgap?
By Mary Grady, Contributing editor

It might seem like a sensible solution, especially at big airports with
a complex array of taxiways and runways -- embed red lights into the
runway pavement at the intersections. It's been tried at Dallas-Fort
Worth and in San Diego, and reports are positive. But the technology is
simply a "a stopgap measure," according to FAA Acting Administrator
Bobby Sturgell. "Runway status lights are one way to drive down
incursions, but they're not the best way," he said this week, while
visiting Los Angeles International Airport to announce that the lights
will be installed there. At LAX, he says, the runways are simply too
close together, and that layout needs to be addressed. A recent report
by the Office of Inspector General for the Transportation Department
found that the status-light systems are effective and should be deployed
at airports across the country.

It is an outrageous abomination that Bobby Sturgell and his FAA cannot
even bother to coordinate with other federal agencies like the TSA and
the USDOT so as to ensu (A) that those that would harm our country
do not even enter, much less be trained at and matriculate from, FAA-
certified flight schools; (B) that those that would harm our country
cannot in any way gain entry to, much less work for, FAA-certified
aircraft repair facilities worldwide which may work on fuel-laden,
passenger-filled aircraft bound for the USA, as discussed at the
February 29, 2008 Senate Commerce Committee hearing at which Sturgell
and USDOT head Mary Peters testified, now available on the Internet;
(C) that those that would harm our country be required to spend at
least more time than the perfunctory 18 seconds through the TSA cordon
at Newark Liberty International Airport as passengers have recently
experienced at EWR, as reported by the press this week.

Bobby Sturgell is a harmful and dangerous individual whose malice and
incompetence must be summarily rejected by the further outcry of the
American people. Bobby Sturgell must be ousted from office as current
Acting Head of the FAA. It is abundantly clear that he is ONLY acting
- and for that matter, he is a bad actor.

Moreover, Bobby Sturgell is a liar who has already perjured himself
repeatedly to save his own proverbial reptilian skin, and to protect
solely the interests of the monied aeromercantile complex for which
Sturgell regularly shills.
