Are you asking about stoke or if it is a problem to ATC?

I'm asking how TSA's view of things is a problem to ATC.

If national security, a DHS issue, overlaps ATC, a DOT issue, don't
count on DOT winning the argument.

Yes one must concider the potential horror of fleets of all fiberglass
gliders with no transponders coming across the Atlantic filled with
terrorists and nuclear bombs.

I didn't imply that there was such a threat. This as most conversations
with Mr. McNicoll is an offshoot of the original conversation. Because
he made some comment that while not really wrong isn't how the real
world works.

Didn't say you did.

My point is that in a sane world (big leap of faith there) DHS wouldn't
have any interest in gliders as one would be hard pressed to come up
with a scenario involving national security and a glider.


Not hard at all.
It flies, it can carry a bomb and explosives. It is cheap and readily
available.
