I worked with Ruben Ornedo and Chad Keller.

I think this rule is overdue, and I completely support it. If (the
former) INS won't do it's job, FAA can at least do this tiny sliver.

I can not put into words my dispappointment of any one who would make
a statement like this.

It's not taking on added responsibility, it is giving the
responsibility and authority of our aircraft to homeland secutiry.


If I have to bring my passport to my BFR, fine. It's not a
significant burdeon. And if it makes it a little harder for someone
to pack a rented 182 with C4, it's well worth it.


I know the Franklin quote. He's wrong. Anyone who isn't willing to
give up a little bit of their freedom to save the lives of their
children, neighbors and friends is a selfish *******.

There is nothing to be gained by giving this up, It is not going to
save any more lives than due diligence would.
Sorry, but to think other wise is pure ignorance.
