They can mandate that your airports spend enough money on security that they
close.

Hey this is the West. Our security
concerns/worries/taxes/proposals/knee jerk reactions are all diminishing
and have been for a while. The only thing that changed post 9/11 is the
FBO now locks their door to the parking lot after 11 pm.

Hey, we got a new key pad for one of our two "security gates" after 9/11.
(I don't think it was related, actually. The old one just broke.)

Of course, the code buttons are the ones with "finger dirt" on them (so
they're quite clearly visible) -- and the "code" is in numeric order, low to
high. Any doofus could figure it out on the first or second try.

Not that it matters. The fence sits two feet off the ground in most areas.
My kids roll under it rather than go through the gate to get to the
terminal... As usual, the main thing that keeps people out of the airport
environment is the cold, impersonal nature of the place. (Which does a good
job of discouraging future pilot trainees too, sad to say.)

No, nothing has changed here since 9/11, either, except during election
years. Then we can't spit without hitting a candidate, and TFRs hit Iowa
like Scud missiles...

That would suck. Democrats don't bother to campaign here, they can't
win. Our one Congressman sent us all a letter in April of 2004 and said
that was the last we'd be hearing from him as far as campaigning was
concerned. He didn't spend a nickel after that and still clobbered the
tomato can the Democrats offered up. If you didn't watch the national
news and therefore didn't have to watch the ads of Bush and Kerry you
would never have known there was an election.

And what will happen to that FBO if this commission causes Congress to order
that you have to go through airline-class security before being allowed to fly
your plane? Schumer, who happens to be one of the sponsors of this bill, is on
record as saying that that's what should be done.

It'll never pass.

Let's hope you're right.
