So, in the words of the song, where do we go from here?


Wasn't Minetta the guy who vetoed expanding the DL and self-certifying
medical for rec. pilots the first time?

Sure! Frederico Pena. Dumb as a cinder block and corrupt as the
Chicago
Daly family. Denver will be paying for that POS for the next 20
years.


You are correct, Pena was worse than Liddy.


Worse by orders of magnitude.
Here's some pertinent comments about Minetta.

Matt, I looked at it and shook my head. That rant is just sensationalism
riddled with half-truths and lacking common sense.


The part about the profiling is true. He made statements in public to
support what the blog says except maybe for the baseball bat part.


What about the part about armed Air Marshalls?

I would say we couldn't get anybody worse but have learned not to
underestimate the government.


You weren't around for Lizzy Dole back in the Reagan days.
You don't know what worse is.
Minetta was pretty good as Sec of Trans go.
He is probably on of the most knowlegable.


I sure was around for Lizzy. She is one reason I no longer underestimate
the government.


Refresh my memory.(?)

Liddy Dole was instrumental, as the self-styled "safety secretary," for
the proliferation of Class B and C airspace throughout the country. She
followed the complete party line of the airlines in trying to banish the
"Little Guys" from major airports.

Such a rousing success it's been.
