I have a feeling that the people who complain the most about the fences or the locks on the doors are the ones who don't own an aircraft that they want protected from any kind of harm.. I'm an aircraft owner. The fences and locks are idiotic. Anyone who thinks that they actually enhance security is an idiot. -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

It is obvious that you haven't yet learned to think on your own and probably are still living with your parents. You've now posted several personal attacks against Emily. She correctly understood the law in one of her anecdotes and yet was attacked for defending her rightful actions. I've posted elsewhere information that supports her position. Your attack posts are self-referentially absurd and I'm surprised you don't realize how this comes across. |

Why GA is Dying
Security at airports is a tightrope walk. If you're on some rural
airfield, security is really just a matter of knowing who your neighbors are and who should or shouldn't be entering their airplane. At larger municipal airports, the key concern is that you may not be able to know who the folks around you are, so some form of fence and perhaps a combination lock system is probably appropriate. I've always been of the opinion that the best security one could buy at an airport is a regular picnic or cookout where the folks can socialize and meet the other folks at the airport. Then you're all looking out for each other because that's what you'd do anyway. Being anonymous in a very public major city airport can lead to draconian measures for security because nobody knows you, yet you may have every reason for being there. I would never introduce a newcomer to aviation by taking them to an international airport. Meanwhile, small private fields are disappearing day by day as the land around them gets developed for more exurban sprawl. The reason aviation is dying is the same reason that farming is disappearing. It's gotten too efficient at what it does and now there are all sorts of regulations and restrictions as fewer and fewer people are graduating with technical aspirations in mind. We're becoming victims of our own success. It's basically a war of mediocrity against those with smarts. And the moguls of mediocrity are winning. Sigh. Jake Brodsky |

I have a friend who is a lawyer [not a sue the rich whore]
and now a state Senator. His favorite saying is, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you." Everywhere you go, there are recording video cameras. The corner store has cameras aimed the doors and each cash register. The clerks think this is their security, it is just so they can a. keep the clerks from stealing and 2. catch the robber who killed the clerk. On the street they have cameras at intersections, to identify speeders, stop light running, and track movements by terrorists. It also raises revenue for those stop lights run, since the get the driver's face and the vehicle make, model, color and tag number. Security on an airport means you check everybody without insulting or offending anybody "differently" from anybody else. So you can't profile Arab young men in groups, but you just randomly search everybody, the wounded vet, the Congressman, the pilots [airline crew], the baby in diapers.Just don't allow the screeners to be accused of discrimination. What about a van or truck two miles from the airport, with a shoulder launched missile? What about the unexpected attack on a small town, that only has two part-time policemen. Terror is about making every place seem too dangerous and you can't protect everywhere with official police and guards. That's where citizens come in, report, approach and ask "Can I help you?" Would you like to learn to fly, I've got an application, here's a pen. You should be friendly and catch hints wile they're off guard. Obvious bomb making stuff does not look like sticks of dynamite, lots of things explode, burn or poison. Get some training from your police on what to look for and what is proper near any important area. A car or truck parked in a no parking zone, or abandoned in a tunnel or under a bridge. There is no Jack Bauer or Casey Ryback and Columbo and The Lone Ranger are fiction too. Be polite works both ways, a cop who is polite can detect evasion and motives, a polite person will get help and not a roust. -- James H. Macklin ATP,CFI,A&P -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.
