You should also mention it to our local AOPA representative, whom you'll be
seeing on an upcoming Thursday for dinner.

And just to top it all off ... AOPA doesn't care.

Not even a mention of Permanent Residents. Not even a mention that
permanent
residents already went through background checks, finger printing, they
are
already on file with the Departement of Homeland Security (no less) ...
nothing.

I am an AOPA member but as far as they are concerned I do not exist.

I made a similar point to Ian Twombly. He has just replied to the effect
that there was a miscommunication internally (I hope he doesn't mind me
publicizing this) and AOPA is certainly including us in its lobbying
efforts. I'll accept that.

I've lived in this country for many years, paid my taxes, been a
schoolteacher and a Scout leader, and now this:

The restrictions recently placed on 12500 training is being extended to
all
aircraft. TSA claims that Congress mandated it, and maybe we were all
asleep
when that happened. The rule is already in effect; the documentation and
security training requirements kick in Oct 20.
