To get action out of congress-critters, it's necessary to be specific about what needs to be changed. I.e. section xx paragraph yy says xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and needs to be changed to yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. They aren't going to dig through 30 or 300 pages of bill to find something ambiguous which they don't understand. If they are handed specific references, they might give them to the staffer and say, this is a change I want, do it. Does anyone have specifics?

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!
