We have had no terrorist attacks using GA planes. Yet for some reason the Federal Government tries hard to impose more and more limits for General Aviation. We have two major tragedies caused by terrorists using trucks to carry bombs downtown: The first World Trade Center Bombing, and Oklahoma City. Yet we don't see Federal Government banning trucks from city downtown areas. However ridiculous that would be, wouldn't that make more sense than limiting GA? Leave it to government to find ever increasing ways to inefficiently waste OUR money while restricting OUR freedom. Eliacim

What problem are we solving here? Are there repeated signs of abuse of airports? Are people in masses flocking out to come together on airports to do something dangerous? Which repeated cases of activities against the common good need to be stopped here? The argument to make things potentially safer does not cut it for me. If that's the case , let's close all bridges in the country to avoid accidents on bridges. Sure you'll get that number to zero. Or close all highways. Fence them in. You never know, someone might walk there someday with a bomb. I can not understand the panicking society. Where will this all end? I used to live in a country where everything was pretty much fenced in. Ports and airports only accessible with special permission. You know what? People did not like that kind of world and revolted against the rulers. The people succeeded.

That way we'll all be "safe" (broke and hungry too). Sorry, IMHO that idea strikes me as ridiculous. Dan Hall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Burkhead" <[email protected]> To: "'Paul M.
