Default TSA and the USA

It seems the AOPA keeps just saying that we agree that little planes are a security problem, but really, lets figure out
a way to comply with the bogus regulations and rules coming out of DC. This nonsense needs to stop and these rules need
to be removed from the books. The TSA does not have the mandate they think they do, and the little airplanes do not pose
a significant risk. If every one of you does not write to their congressman/senator/president, then in fact you also are
a part of the problem.

This needs to be stopped. Did you know that the TSA even says that RC airplanes cannot be flown inside the 'special use
airspace' surrounding some events. Blows me away, the divide and conquer methods being employed are working - so many
folks are thinking that this does not affect me, so it is ok....

I agree. We are getting neither the leadership nor the results on this
matter that I have come to expect from AOPA. I am beginning to wonder who
our new AOPA Director thinks he works for; us or the government? We have a
new administration, and AOPA should have plenty of leverage to at least
force the TSA go through the forrmal administrative rulemaking proceeding
process, rather than the ad-hoc "secret" method that they prefer.

There is no emergency justifaction for the TSA to abandan the formal
rulemaking process in this instance. Let's have government in the sunshine!

Interestingly enough, the "divide and conquer" tact worked to
perfection in Germany in the 1930s.
