Boycott the airfield. When fuel sales plummett and FBOs lose money,
this nonsense will be retracted.

I wish it were that easy.

If the FBO's are behind this, then it must be some obscure relationship at
the top levels of the NY State government. This is a state-sponsored,
politically-motivated action. The FBO's make very little money from
transient small GA aircraft who are affected only in that they need an
escort. Since they have to go to one of the two FBO's, escorts are readily
available. The FBOs make the bulk of their money from the biz jets anyhow.
The tenants, who are the most affected by this new security system, can't
boycott the field without significant hardship to themselves.

The problem is with the self-styled "progressives" who currently run the
Democratic Party, which is in charge of New York, California and several
other states. They object to our "frivolous" pursuit of aviation and
seek every excuse to punish us.

In addition, there is an unholy alliance with real estate developers,
who wish the land that our airports occupy.
