So Zach
whats it going to be ?
put TSA guards and a security check point at every FBO at every Podunk airport in the United States?
the ruling is ridiculous.
The owners of these aircraft are usually the pilots, and in cases where they are not the pilots, the pilots they have employed know their customers well.
i could see applying the rules to part 135 air carriers... but not private owners.
The ruling is costly to both the aircraft owner, and the tax payer, it is so vast in scope that it is impractical and it is a gross invasion of privacy by big government.
i for one dont support it.
this "plan" is only one step away from requiring every weekend warrior in a cessna 150 to fall in line with the same BS.
I have worked professionally in the aviation industry for over 10 years... i know first hand what it is like to deal with an "organization" like the TSA.
this plan is BAD for general aviation - plain and simple.
inconvenience is one thing Zach... a gross invasion of privacy and an overstepping of bounds is a whole other matter.
The TSA needs to stick to regulating PUBLIC transportation security and keep their noses out of my Gadamned private hangar.
