Annual drug tests s/b given to drivers as well. Perhaps supplemented with
random drug tests for Massachusetts drivers.

On Planet Skylune, everyone is a suspected criminal. Glad to see we got
you on the record about that. It's always the same with people who
spend their time fighting to eliminate other people's freedoms. Deep
down you're all motivated by contempt and loathing for your fellow man
and if given the opportunity would gladly march all of the people you
disagree with into the gas chamber.

"The Gas Chamber." Wow! That would definitely eliminate someone's
freedom.

"Contempt and loathing..." Is that anything like "Fear and Loathing?"

Not everyone is a suspected criminal: just GA pilots.

Solution to what, lack of employment opportunities for police officers?
What you're proposing is a police state. Perhaps instead of the gas
chamber you'd put every one of us in an infant's crib where smarter,
better people protect us from all the Bad Things that can hurt Baby. If
people like you managed to ban GA completely you'd just find something
new to go after. Motorcycles, personal watercraft, cigarettes, red
meat, cell phones, pornography, there's a whole world of personal
freedoms out there just waiting to **** you off.

I went to this site and now I think I understand your position
vis-a-vis GA. The website is a prescription for a citizen surveillance
program that would have found acceptance in East Germany or communist
China. Anyone who would advocate such a sytem must have a deep seated
fear of personal liberty. If GA (and personal liberty) really bothers
you all that much, there are many more restrictive regimes on the
planet in which to live. I suspect that killing off GA would not
satisfy a person who advocates the driving surveillance program, as
there are many other ways Americans exercise their personal freedoms
that would remain. Short of some sort of fascist takeover, you can't
strip all the liberties away that bother you--it would be easier just
to move to an authoritarian country.

I love knee jerk reactions as much as the next guy but...

How does hiring a company to see if those you have authorized to drive your
vehicles and buy doing so put you at great liability in any way have a damn
thing to do with the loss of personal liberty?

Because skycrank suggested this sort of program be applied to you,
diving your car home from the grocery store. The guy has a much more
generalized problem with personal freedom than just being an anti-GA
zealot.

LOL for real! I'm a Bostonian and luckily I'd already finished my sip
of beer when I read that, or I'd be wiping down my monitor. You don't
need drug tests for Massholes, we're mostly just drunks. It's those
hippies in Vermont you've got to worry about.
