one wonders why it took the AOPA to get the FAA to enforce the law:


I don't know....$1.6 million isn't anything to the city, and Daley
would do it again in a heartbeat, even knowing he'd be fined.


Right. This fine addresses the civil aspect of the issue, but what of
the criminal acts?

Perhaps the federal fine paves the way for those pilots who were
endangered by Daley's midnight raid to file suits, with a greater
likelihood of winning their cases.

Saaaayyyy... weren't all of us en route to Meigs that Sunday night???
