...PLANE PAPERWORK UNDER MICROSCOPE
Your personal paperwork isn't the only object of the government's
security watchdogs. The FAA has announced it is going through its
aircraft registry, one plane at a time, to ensure that all the documents
are in the right place at the right time. Any registration that doesn't
meet requirements -- for any reason -- will be flagged as a possible
security threat and followed up on by the FAA. The solution for aircraft
owners is simple and that's to make sure that all the paperwork is
properly done, especially with ownership transfers and other status
changes. But AOPA also wants to make sure the FAA is not overzealous in
its review. "AOPA's concern is that aircraft owners not be branded
potential terrorists due to a clerical error or other innocent mistake,"
said AOPA VP Melissa Bailey.

Big government has to do something to cajole the masses. Got to make
them think they're being protected.

If you've got a better idea to look for "low hanging fruit", feel free
to share it. The concept of looking over aircraft registration for
possible ownership/registration glitches seems like one that could be
productive with very little effort.

Or we could just wait until some bonehead DOES pull off some terrorist
action using a GA aircraft and deal with it then...
