After a couple of hours at the FAA Offices to upgrade his US certificate and
seeing the security coming and going, he remarks:

The thing I find most unusual is that the biggest precautions seem to
be at government offices. I cannot even go in to the Wichita FSDO
without calling them (at least they did put a phone inside the first
set of doors so you don't have to stand outside in the snow and rain),
telling who I want to see, and then having someone come and escort me
in. I think I had to sign in and out to just drop off my program
letter for one of my gliders last year. Guess this time I will use
the US Mail. Just as impersonal as the visit was (because of the
changes) and cheaper, too.

Maybe the government is afraid of being taken over by the people?
