This same editorial pops up in one of their papers every three to six
months. IIRC the owner of the company had a near miss with a glider
in his biz jet, and has had a bug up his ass ever since.


Exactly. And the bug doesn't seem to know, or doesn't care, there are
far more airplanes without transponders than gliders.
