If Kerry is elected, expect a lot more restrictions on GA. Considering the fact that, unlike Bush, Kerry is not requesting pop-up TFRs everywhere he campaigns, this is a pretty wrongheaded statement. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, gullibility. This is the clown that got a fire hydrant moved from in front of his house as being "inconvenient". |

The more we prove we can police ourselves well, the less the public will demand government agencies to do it for us. I strongly doubt these guys had any intention of pulling their toys out in flight, but rather simply wanted to prove they had been able to get them on. Even a reporter couldn't be that stupid. -cwk.

If NBC has any integrity, they will run the story, showing that some
people out there are awake and taking the terrorism threat seriously. But I doubt that they will, and I will have to put them in the same category I use for CBS - purveyors of only the news that supports their point of view. Too bad. Hank Henry A.

The relentless and unfair "piling on" General Aviation to instill unwarranted fear in a population that is basically ignorant about aviation is a disservice. NBC News loses credibility when these stories are pursued for sensationalism and ratings. Shame on you. General Aviation had NOTHING to do with 911 or terrorism. Innocent law-abiding pilots who earn a living flying are being unfairly scapegoated because we are a small and un-influential constituency. I have lost all my respect for your organization.

I suppose that behind the scenes then lt gov Kerry was fighting Dukakis and the NIMBY goons in an attempt convince them of the need for 14/32 at KBOS? -- Bob Noel Seen on Kerry's campaign airplane: "the real deal" oh yeah baby. |

Close? It looked like they were a country mile away from getting in. They barely even got through the gate to the airport. |

But I doubt that they will, and I will have to put them in the same category I use for CBS - purveyors of only the news that supports their point of view. Too bad. They already ran the story, as AOPA's web site has noted. Phil Boyer remarked: "And to NBC: We appreciate that you accurately reported these misguided escapades on tonight's network news." --Gary Hank Henry A.

Well, according to my newsreader, on 8/13/04 at 4:11 AM you said: "This seems incredibly dangerous. A lot of pilots have made the decision to never allow themselves to be hijacked, no matter what. So these 'reporters' start pulling out knives or other weapons: My instinct would be to kill them without hesitation. Nor would I believe them if they started claiming that they were only reporters.
