The Delta 777 FO who drove on to the taxiways and runway of a grass airport to his big DC-3 and was stopped by the Mayberry Barney Fife Code Enforcement Officers was perceived as a national security threat. The size of a DC3 scares the crap out of TSA, DHS, local police, and especially code enforcement officers. Dan was as dangerous as a 911 terrorist with a weapon of mass destruction. NOT!
And yet, pilot after pilot here agreed with every word of a sensationalized news article presenting 1/3 of the true in an extreme manner to convict an innocent until proven guilt man in an effort to sell ad space and copy to an uneducated scared general public. Pilot after pilot here on FI are more than happy to rat out someone to the Gestapo if they are jealous. Pilot after pilot here have no idea what the US Constitution says, care about freedom and liberty over security and imprisonment, and are more than happy to live life in a glass bowl full of web cams recording their every move.
Absolute power... FAA and the TSA only have it if we allow it -- Title of a current news article by Earl Lawrence. "Several House of Representative members supportive of general aviation have introduced House bill 3678 in an attemp to ensure the department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not continue to have an absoute power to issue security directives that severly impact aviation.
An example od DHS uncheck authority is SD 1542-04-08F issued December 2008 and modified in June of this year. That directive requires commercial airports to revamp their general aviation ramp security procedures to include background checks, idenitification badges, and personal escorts to and from aircraft. This SD was issued without input from the GA community and despite the lack of any imminent security threat. SD 1542-04-08F applied a "one size fits all" response to a transportation sector- GA- even in the absence of a credible or immediate threat."
Has anyone here on FI heard of America the Land of the Free? What does these words mean? No one here acts in a manner consistent with American values.
