Stand up to the TSA...

[BoeingBaller]

As I wrote earlier on my company's message board...

I started my work week at Millionaire, ALB. Showing up at 6:45am, I was greeted by 5 of the TSA's best, throwing me the evil-eye the whole time. Finally, one of them blurted out a weak "good morning" to make the whole awkward situation feel ok.

It wasn't ok, it was awkward and it sucked.

I thought it only applied to aircraft over 12500lbs?

There's no weight restriction on the evil-eye.

It does.

TSA calls it the LASP (Large Aircraft Security Program). Since the definition of "Large" is over 12,500 (arbitrarily set yrs ago) it drags a lot of small operators in unnecessarily, making it logisitically impossible for them to comply in a profitable way. The matrix of requirements easily furnished at a larger op., will put smaller outfits quickly out of business.
