Pilot runs out of fuel waiting for security clearance

But in response to your point, why do you complain so bitterly about GA
security, but I haven't heard you mention how people's rights are violated
when they fly commercially at all! Clearly, that's unfair also, isn't it?

There are any number of restrictions imposed on us that I think are unfair,
including the additional security measures in place at commercial airports.
However, the topic at hand is the flight restrictions affecting general
aviation.

In case you hadn't noticed.

Surely you're not suggesting that, in order for one's point to be valid,
they must comment on every single similar situation that exists? No
wait...I suppose you might actually be saying that. After all, it's no more
absurd a position than your other comments exhibit.

Actually, the topic at hand was a pilot who mismanaged fuel. Since neither
of us has been talking about that topic for a very long time, I guess we
don't belong on this thread.

No, the topic is about how the flight restrictions are affecting GA. The
pilot had more than enough fuel for his INTENDED flight. He did not expect
having to circle for an hour while ATC found his ADIZ flight plan that had
been lost in the system. His fuel mismanagement started when he expected them
to resolve the issue in short order and he got sucked into the "they will find
in any minute" syndrome. Yes, the pilot should have left his entry position
and gone off to get fuel (and gotten on a land line to clear up the mess), but
had it not been for the restrictions he wouldn't have gotten into the mess in
the first place.
