KFRG ID and Background Check required for all pilots

This is why I'll always be an AOPA member:

----

AOPA FIGHTS BADGES AND BACKGROUND CHECKS AT GA FIELD
Pilots based at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, N.Y., could be
subjected to a background check, made to use a special security badge
to access the airport, and required to pay $70 for the privilege.
Transient pilots landing at this airport would be questioned and
escorted upon arrival. AOPA is opposing the plan implemented by the
state of New York because there are alternatives to background checks
that are far less costly and leverage existing efforts by the federal
government. Read more on AOPA Online.

Although my FBO got the airport to give it's students/renters the ID
for free for a limited time, its still ridiculous that we need ID!
Isn't my Pilot's License enough to prove that I should be allowed to
get to my airplane?

Thank goodness for organizations like AOPA that look out for our
interests.
