The Interagency Airspace Working Group does not include the airline
industry. It appears the principals in this matter is the USSS and DoD,
TSA lacks any technically competant management - has from day one
(don't ask me how I know...)

Since GA represents such a small minority, it is just plain
'low-hanging fruit' that provides the appearance of positive action on
aviation security. That is it, plain and simple. There are no, zero,
nada REAL quantitative studies or Operations Research concerning the
optimum method to secure DC airspace without restricting freedom of
movement. This was a simple, knee-jerk action that there has been
little reason to go back and re-examine, unlike the 30-minute
'pee-in-your-pants' rule (which REALLY made no sense from a tactical
perspective.)

The only way at this point any progress will be made is if a big GOP
donor (perhaps one of the beloved 'Rangers') is shot down by mistake.
