Hey! The congestion at the FBO reading room after a long flight is bad enough
without using it as a holding cell.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I just saw a "teaser" piece during the CBS Evening News promoting their
"investigation" on security at GA airports, to air tomorrow (Wed.

Well, let me know how it goes. I haven't watched broadcast TV since I got tired
of them shuffling "WKRP in Cincinnati" from one time slot to another every week
(IOW, not for a lllooonnnggg time).

I haven't even had my first flight yet and they want to close down all
the GA airports!?!? Ugh!

Get used to it. Some form of "they" have been trying to close down airports since
at least the end of WW II.

Hmmmm...that's true! I guess we'll just have to take them in there and
quickly flush them.

Actually, tackling the media, beating the crap out of them and
destroying
their equipment is just a good policy in general

I know you're being facetious, but reading this kind of statement is still
scary.

If you think the TSA and other government agencies are acting heavy-handed
now, imagine what they would be like without the media keeping them
honest.

Surely you're not serious!!!

Think "North Korea."

North Korea? Hell, think "Washington D.C." (District of Criminals)

(Remember: The vast majority of criticism is self-serving)

That makes three of us who have shut off the box... I even gave mine away
to
my in-laws (and no, it didn't really help... they still don't think I'm
good
enough for their daughter).

Wrong point: -- Are THEY good enough for YOU?

Did anyone catch who the sponsors were? I don't think I would want my
company advertising on a program that was obviously Clueless, and Uniformed.
Wouldn't that reflect poorly on my product? If "They" are ignorant, and I
hire them to represent me, am I not ignorant by association? By
demonstration?


Wait until you see what we found. You'll be shocked.
Tune in tomorrow for a CBS
Evening News Investigation."

This pretty much says it all. Some geek with too much time on his hands
takes a cheap shot at an industry for his own glory and profit. I think I
need to know where this "terrorist" gets his financing. Not with my dollars
you don't

Doesn't the American Homeland Security Department (or whatever
it is called) have some rules/laws about spreading unnecessary
fear and/or threats? If they have something like that maybe
one of the Americans reading this can file a complaint with
the department that CBS is terrorizing the American public
with this invented fear.
