As a licensed pilot, I'm not sure how it would even be possible to privatize something as large and complex and the national airspace system. Then again, the Internet is large and complex and seems to be getting along okay without a lot of government controls. However, in aviation, people's lives are at stake so the rules and regulations are all there for specific purposes. Some air traffic control towers are privatized, but they all follow the same rules and are inspected, certified, and overseen by... you guessed it, the FAA. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:342349 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
