I don't know whether the airlines are behind this. After all, what would
they have to gain?

Consider the fact that airline passengers must now submit to long
lines for degrading security inspections, wait for protracted periods
to meet airline schedules, and be treated like cattle. Contrast that
with the corporate or charter biz-jet GA experience. I would expect
airlines to fear loosing high paying business class customers to the
more flexible, more comfortable and less invasive GA fleet.

Not so big an issue at SNA last week. I was passing through and noticed an express lane for first class and 'preferred'
travelers that bypassed the long line for us normal folk. I wonder what it takes to be preferred...

Public ignorance. They're comfortable with trucks, but the vast majority of
them don't understand aviation. That makes it easy to convince them we're
nothing but spoiled rich brats playing with our expensive toys.

It's all about the money tree. The "homeland security" money tree is the
biggest one around and the easiest to shake. The "security" industry
motto is "scare and share". If we are afraid of everything, then
everything has to have a big, expensive security apparatus laid over it.
Who wins? Guess. The government "security agencies", and the usual
Fortune 50 techno companies. Easy money. It doesn't even have to work.

I had one chase me down the streets of Manhattan the other day. Where were
you when I needed you?

Guys,

After read the other thread of discussions, I totally agree with the
following:

Bush has to capture the O'sama and the rest of those evil guys.
That's the only way to stop the non-sense fear and spendings.
Semilarly, if we capture those computer hackers, we don't have to worry
to buy an virus protection software.

And, to identify those terrorist evils is MUCH EASIER than to identify
computer hackers. Terrorists have the same believes, same kind of
evil goals and from certain area in the world. But computer hackers do
not, they may be for fun, for any reason, and can be from any where in
the world with an internet connection.

Well, so please stop to spread those fearful statements...go to do the
real job. Sit there and write new regulations won't save the public a
thing.
