OK, sure...give up a little liberty. then a little more. More?
OK...pretty soon, All your liberty is GONE. Are you still secure? Probably not. Feel free to give up YOUR liberty just so you can feel secure. Just don't force others to give up THEIR freedom for you, which is what you are advocating. John |

(C-182 stuffed with explosives + joint session of congress) * suicidal islamist = no general aviation ever again. And a Volkswagen stuffed with explosives parked at a McDonalds equals no more safe drive thrus. And a pickup stuffed with explosives parked in a mall parking lot equals no more safe dollar days at Wal Mart. And a backpack stuffed with explosives left by old faithfull equals no more safe camping at a national park. And a hollowed out book stuffed with explosives and nails equals no more safe trips to the library. And a semi filled with explosives equals no more safe hiways. And a bicycle filled with explosives equals no more safe city nature trails. And a 14 foot boat filled with explosives equals no more safe public beaches. Why commit suicide when the above examples will allow a terrorist to walk away and live to bomb again. Sure you can go splashy but they have already done that now havn't they. Bomb your Congress and every American will get mad. But if they start car bombing the parking lots of McDonalds then every American will get scared........ Including all those millions of Wall street type investors who will watch their stock of McDonalds start to circle that famous toilet bowl. Yes yes yes.... your government could kill general aviation deader than a doornail..... and make flying commercial excrutiatingly aggravating, but your government can't check every car, truck, bike, skidoo, seadoo, and backpack or hollowed out book in the country now can they. Why be stupid and get you Americans mad when they can be insidious and scare the crap out of you from coast to coast and from the Canadian to Mexican border. There is an awful lot of highways between those four points on the compass, a lot of malls, and oodles of McDonalds to choose from. Why make life difficult and attack one of the most highly guarded buildings in the world when the pickings are so much easier just a few miles down the road. |

it won't mean the end of GA. Well an interesting question would be.... What would the financial impact be, not only in the US but in most other countries of the World if GA was stopped cold in the US. Airplane manufactures..... how many in US how many worldwide. How many employess would it affect in just the US. Unemployed people don't pay taxes, neither do closed manufacturing facilities. Then there is the spin off manufacturing companies, Teledyne, King avionics.... well you get the picture. Those airports.... Oh what would they do with all those empty airports. Empty of people that is. And the list goes on and on and on. From the lady frying up $100 hamburgers, to the mechanic on the line. And all those fuel sales that won't get made. Local, State, and Federal taxes. What would the financial impact be if General Aviation were stopped cold in it's tracts. |

If I have to bring my passport to my BFR, fine. It's not a significant burdeon. You've sorta glossed over the huge burden it places on flight instructors and flight schools, for what amounts to little if any additional security. But hey, it *looks* like someone is doing something. And that's what's important in some circles. Dave 'crush 'em with paperwork' Hyde |
