Default TSA & MTJ Montrose

It looks like it is true. Here's the meeting notice.

There's a thread over at the AOPA forums, but still, it doesn't have the
explosive anger the subject deserves. There is an independent post there
that confirms the letter that started this thread.

My guess is that there are two factors involved here limiting participation:
First was the recent Washington ADIZ issue where over 20,000 comments
were received. The FAA spat in our faces, just ignored them all and
implemented what they wanted. I'll bet the same thing will happen with
the 4,600 comments on the LASP rule.

Second is that too many pilots figure it won't affect them. That's
wrong, since here withing easy flying distance from central Conn. are
many airports with commercial service: New Haven, Martha's Vineyard,
Nantucket, Albany, White Plains, Hanscom, Worcester, Windsor Locks,
Hyannis, Block Island, Westerly.
It looks like the ol' divide and conquer. It won't be long before GPS
tracking will be required for every vehicle on land, water or air.

AOPA legal services won't be of help if you get caught violating these
unknown rules either, since the so-called infraction didn't happen while
flying and wasn't issued by the FAA.

And I am surprised that there has not been a flurry of messages on
this group decrying the situation.
I hope that the story is not true, and that someone is pulling our
collective leg, ...
