Are we terrorists?

from AvWeb news feed this morning... ...PLANE PAPERWORK UNDER MICROSCOPE Your personal paperwork isn't the only object of the government's security watchdogs. The FAA has announced it is going through its aircraft registry, one plane at a time, to ensure that all the documents are in the right place at the right time. Any registration that doesn't meet requirements -- for any reason -- will be flagged as a possible security threat and followed up on by the FAA. The solution for aircraft owners is simple and that's to make sure that all the paperwork is properly done, especially with ownership transfers and other status changes. But AOPA also wants to make sure the FAA is not overzealous in its review. "AOPA's concern is that aircraft owners not be branded potential terrorists due to a clerical error or other innocent mistake," said AOPA VP Melissa Bailey. http://www.avweb.com/newswire/9_27a/.../185237-1.html Big government has to do something to cajole the masses. Got to make them think they're being protected. -- ----Because I can---- http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/ ------------------------ |

Got to make them think they're being protected. If you've got a better idea to look for "low hanging fruit", feel free to share it. The concept of looking over aircraft registration for possible ownership/registration glitches seems like one that could be productive with very little effort. Or we could just wait until some bonehead DOES pull off some terrorist action using a GA aircraft and deal with it then... Mark Hickey |
