I agree Vishni. The security proposals for planes under 12,500 lbs are very serious. As are the costs being proposed for flight students and bi-annual "licensing". And are among those "other issues" I referred too. Hoping they would not get pushed aside because of the security personnel concerns. By the way, my memory may have gotten a bit tossed. I stated the Herb Kohl introduced section 1062 if the Aviation Security bill when in fact it was the "under 12,500 lbs" proposal that was his. Sorry for the error.

This awful thing could become reality but most folks seem focused on the more immediate issue of the TFR's. If this security program was to come about then I see that this could make it very difficult for the small airports and airfields can continue to operate. Many of these are barely open in the first place and with security requirements which will doubtlessly cost money they will have to close. Imagine if you had to call out someone, perhaps a local sheriff's deputy, to check your plane before departure from a small field which couldn't possibly have a full-time person on-site. They won't do that for free, they'd know nothing about aviation, and besides, why should you have to be checked before you do something personal in our free country? This proposal could be written into the final bill so we had better make a lot of noise and see that it doesn't!
