Hi Guys,

LAX has been mentioned, what other airports have TSA or Homeland Security checks happened at?

Thanks!

Thanks StarHustler.

Per our Ops Specs only vetted passengers and FAA with form 110a are allowed on Part 135 aircraft.

Yeah, because marijuana is such a threat to national security.

We worry about the wrong things in this country. What's going on down there can, and most likely will, spill over into this country. If you live in a border state like I do, you hear about it, but the further away from the border the less is heard.

So, if tomorrow, the FAA 'adopts'(railroads) new regulation and issue new ops specs that blueberries garner the same access and acknowledgement as an FAA Badge...

...is anyone here going to see a constitutionality problem?

...how about when FAR91 Ops are 'boarded'?

The US Constitution protects free and unrestricted travel inter/intrastate. Congress enabled the FAA Act severely trouncing on Constitutional Rights of Aviators just because that travel occurs in an airplane? Now, a clear path is being paved to envelope DHS/TSA under that umbrella to infringe more deeply into aviators rights' than ever before?

If we don't stop the DHS/TSA here, next it will be our highways (as is already been engaged in Tennessee) and then our schools, ultimately our homes or as we walk a city street(as was the most difficult in 2011 in NYC than ever before with stop and frisk)?

On September 12, 2001, we feared attacks from outside our borders. Since January 2007, I have become more concerned and fearful of the damage done to us by our government and more-so than Terrorists could ever imagine they could inflict. Oh how they are reveling from their sandy caves and huts.

America's shining bright flame is nearing but an ember.

If marijuana were legalized in the US, the Mexican drug gangs would lose out as the best stuff is grown in the USA. If anything, the fact that MJ is illegal would causes any spillover and legalization would mitigate it.
