LOY HINTS AT GA SECURITY CHANGES

We'll see. I'm a bit worried about the "we will recommend that FAA engage
in appropriate rulemaking to permanently codify" part. I suppose it'll be
nice to have restricted airspace marked on the charts at printing time, but
I'm not really looking forward to our perma-TFRs becoming permanent.

Obviously the hope is that the perma-TFRs will actually go away. But I'm
not holding my breath.

Me neither, at least not from this initiative.

Seems to me that Loy is pretty naive about this. From what I've seen, the
person who is responsible for imposing (and eventually removing) the TFRs
(Condoleezza Rice) doesn't care one bit what anyone in the FAA or TSA or
Congress or anybody else says or thinks. Loy is certainly not the first
person in a high position in a government agency that deals with aviation and
security who has concluded that the TFRs are stupid and unnecesary. Loy can
make whatever recomendations he wants but I doubt his input carries much
weight on this issue. Maybe we'll see. But I don't think so.
