Spooky flights

These are the flight conditions you guys who choose to live in and
around the Washington, DC area must contend with, and there's nothing
you can do about it, short of voting the *******s out of office (for
all the good *that* will do).
That's hard to do, with all those farmers in Iowa voting them back
into office.
And I contend that -- other than you poor guys that are stuck in or
near that stupid ADIZ -- *nothing* has changed for the rest of us.
They will come for others first, and if you do nothing to prevent it,
eventually they will come for you, when there is no one else left to
prevent it.
And I'll stand by that assertion. I fly as often today -- actually
more -- than I did pre-9/11, and (so long as I avoid your area), I fly
with exactly the same rules, freedoms, and regulations as before.
It's not saying much to be able to fly over empty farmland.
In short, MX's contention is completely, utterly, and thankfully wrong.
Famous last words. Unfortunately this perception is all too
widespread.
