McCain may as well run with Hillary, because he can not win the south no
matter what his party. He shot himself there during his last run. He would
have been the nominee and probably the President if he would have kept his
trap shut in South Carolina.

Dream on. Betcha McCain jumps on this band wagon before too long.

What a disgusting puke!

My bet: McCain doesn't run AGAINST Hillary in '06, he runs WITH her
(especially if he doesn't get the Repub nomination).

Hillary and the three midgets are pandering to the anti crowd that wants
to close the nuclear powered electric generating stations at Indian
Point.

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.

Which makes sense since he is a Democrat at heart. I still can't figure
out why he just doesn't change parties and make it official.

to undertake as assessment of the dangers posed to high-risk, large
populations and critical infrastructure areas should GA aircraft be
stolen and used as a weapon."

In theory, this doesn't sound all bad. We've been saying all along
that GA is a small risk and that the FRZ is unwarranted. If they
actually study it, they might find that out.



Right. Well this is admittedly a wild-assed guess, but I would suppose
the "conclusions" of such a study are already known quite clearly.


Too true...but they have a point...put even a small thermonuclear
device in a Cessena 150 and.... :-O !

Well,
It seemed McCain was doing very very well with southern voters. They
(myself included) respected and admired his courage through Vietnam. He had
it made for sure...then he went and told the people of South Carolina they
should take down the Battle Flag. His numbers went into the trashcan
overnight and he never did recover and lost the south and the nomination.
Seems people in the south thought he had as much right to tell South
Carolina what flag to fly on the Statehouse grounds as people in South
Carolina telling Arizona to fly pink underwear on their flagpole. Just did
not go over well.

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...

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.
