LOY HINTS AT GA SECURITY CHANGES
The Transportation Security Administration is hinting it may relax
some of the restrictions placed on GA after 9/11. In testimony before
a House Aviation Subcommittee hearing that was supposed to deal with
airline security, TSA head Adm. James Loy said that GA was not as much
of a threat as originally thought post-9/11. In written comments he
said "more in-depth background checks" would assist in issuing waivers
for individuals such as corporate pilots into certain restricted
airspace. Loy also said, "We will advise the FAA about whether certain
airspace restrictions add real security value and we will recommend
that FAA engage in appropriate rulemaking to permanently codify those
security-based airspace restrictions that add real security value." He
said, too that the Washington ADIZ will remain for the time being.
