Default Questions to TSA Administration

AOPA has also set up a special e-mail address for member questions to Adm.
Stone about the flight training rules. Here are the two questions I sent
in:

Except for voting rights, resident aliens are offered the same
priviledges as US citizens in this country. Some are serving in the US
military and are fighting for our freedom in Iraq right now. Under the
new TSA rule, they will be treated like terrorists. If they are safe
enough for military service, why are they unsafe for taking flying
lessons in a small aircraft?

Currently, TSA prohibits anyone other than a citizen or resident alien
from driving trucks containing explosive materials. If resident
aliens are deemed safe to drive trucks loaded with explosives (which
are far more dangerous than single engine airplanes), why are they not
given the same priviledges in the new TSA rule on flight training?
