First, I'm really conflicted about doing this (it is shameless
promotion), but it is aviation related.

It's obvious to most pilots that most of the post-Sept. 11 restrictions
are, at best, foolish and ineffective, and some of them are downright
dangerous. Unfortunately, most people don't know how to fight back.

As a result of a few discussions over at forums.aopa.org, a few of us
have cooperated in putting together a website dedicated to giving
people the tools to fight back. This includes:

1. Up to date news on GA security issues.
2. A website with information about light GA and GA security.
3. Issue briefs on some of the "hot" issues.
4. A "fact file" of talking points which you can use as reference when
writing letters or talking to people.
5. Contact information (still to come) for decision makers (so you know
where to send your letters.
6. A discussion forum to discuss security related issues, and to give
people the option of having their letters "peer reviewed" before their
sent (really helpful if you have doubts about your writing ability.)
7. A CafePress shop where you can buy shirts, bumper stickers, license
plate frames, etc. to advertise your support for the cause. (We don't
mark up the prices, so you just pay the CafePress fees...).

While we haven't been indexed by any search engines yet, the doors are
open, and we're looking for volunteers who can manage issues, write
news, copy edit, etc. (I'm paying for the website, but I can't afford
to hire anybody :-)).

Comments and criticisms are also eagerly anticipated! (As are
suggestions on how to promote the site.)

Thanks,

-Rob
