Here's draft number two. I've incorporated some of the suggestions made
here. I will send it in in a few days, after considering other replies
here.

fwiw:

I think the "less than 4, greater than 6" thing is just too cute to be taken
seriously.

A possible rewording of a couple of paragraphs.

There are certain things that simply must be accepted in a free society.
Just as it is not possible to protect oneself from gunfire when
walking down the street without giving up a significant quality of life,
it is also not possible to protect the nation from terrorist attacks by
restricting our airspace, unless we actually close down so much airspace
that air travel itself stops being practical. It may "seem right", but in
fact doesn't actually increase security.

Implementing the proposed rules codifying current flight restrictions
for certain aircraft operations in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area
neither provides real security, nor does it preserve the freedoms that
make this country great. We, as a nation, and the FAA as an agency,
need to balance security and freedom. We cannot have both absolute
freedom and absolute security. Freedom gets eroded away long before the
illusion of security turns into real security.
