Perhaps I should elaborate a bit on my views. I don't have any problem with local government owning airports. It's a community thing and more power to 'em. I certainly don't want to see communities forced to give away their airports, especially to corporations that have politicians in their pockets. That's just dumb. I want to see less government bureaucracy, especially in the federal government. I want to see federal programs that are outside of constitutional mandate shifted to private or local control. To me it only makes sense. The FAA as a whole is the quintessential example of a federal agency ripe for privatization. They have a proven market and valuable services. Private companies in fact have already adopted some of the roles of the FAA and are making money at it. I also believe that the market for their services makes complete privatization of the FAA feasible. I don't want to give anything away. I don't want to see corporate welfare of any kind. I just want to see the opportunity presented for the private sector to legitimately compete for this closed market of services that the government has a monopoly on.
