Or a Ford Taurus as a rolling bomb, or a man with a backpack (Israel style) as a walking bomb. Let us, then, ban all cars and pedestrians. These are smart, determined people. Remove one means of delivery and they will simply find the next. Has anyone noticed that people are being encouraged to bring carloads of relief and rescue supplies to the Javits Center? Casting general aviation under suspicion makes as much sense as rounding up all Muslims or Arabs. The government has already said that the latter is unacceptable as an alternative. So why do the former? This is simply a case of doing something arbitrary because they can, no matter whether it is effective or not. The ONLY positive for GA is that if there is another attack it will come by car or by pedestrian or by train or by commercial or part 135 aircraft, not via GA. >\We've got people posing as pilots out there, folks.

There are elements in every government who don't like anything they can't fully control. This is their day. There is another kind of vigilance which must be brought into play because, in the end, some of those who talk about 'freedom' aren't really that partial to the whole idea. Don't give them carte blanche to pick you as a convenient target du jour.
