"Vaughn" wrote in message ... "George Vranek" wrote in message ... I mean, it is completely OK, that the US security people still remember, that some of september 11. terorists has studied on German universities and entered USA with German students passports. ...and then studied in USA flight schools. Your point? Vaughn My point is as follows: If somebody with German passport will fly in the USA, he must not wonder, that he will be checked much more closely, than somebody with Canadien or Australien Passport. Remember, the war against terorists is not finished. George |

Horse bolted, stable door, closing after.
Rearrange to your satisfaction. F.L. Whiteley wrote: "Terrill D. Willard" wrote in message om... (Steve) wrote in message . com... The thing I find most unusual is that the biggest precautions seem to be at government offices. I cannot even go in to the Wichita FSDO without calling them (at least they did put a phone inside the first set of doors so you don't have to stand outside in the snow and rain), telling who I want to see, and then having someone come and escort me in. I think I had to sign in and out to just drop off my program letter for one of my gliders last year. Guess this time I will use the US Mail. Just as impersonal as the visit was (because of the changes) and cheaper, too. ... Steve Leonard I have worked in a building with this kind of security for the last 14 years. The difference is that it is in private industry. I forget that other citizens are not used to carrying mulitple pass-cards and keys to get into their place of business. Visitors never come to our site unannounced. The guard would never let them past the gate at the perimeter, and no one has attempted to cross the 3meter high fences topped with razor wire.... Maybe government is finally catching up to the rest of us. I am just happy that this kind of security is not required at small GA airports and gliderports....yet. Terrill It's in progress at some airports. At the Government Liason presentation at the convention, it was suggested that glider operators become proactive to avert regulatory action; security audit, locked hangars, security officer, etc. Frank Whiteley |

So, when do you expect to be paroled? :-) In about 30 years when I retire! Seriously, the only thing that bugs me is that we also have no windows. In the winter I can go a week straight without seeing the sun. T |

Hei,

I _have_ a window at work, and in the winter I can go a week straight without seeing the sun ;-) During my military service we went like a couple of _months_ without ever seeing a hint the sun, and we spent most of our time outdoors! So there ;-) Christian 8-) |

But then I suppose you folk don't understand the concept of "good rain" so I suppose there is a balance. |

Bruce, The only thing I would like more than living here (Arizona (300+ days of sun per year), would be to live here in the summer and then live down your way during our winter. I love the sun, its just the stinking job that keeps me in the dark. I shouldn't complain though. On friday I took a trainer out and enjoyed 2-3 knot thermas to 4000ft agl for a good bit of the afternoon. Temperatures were around 20 degrees C and it was beautiful for a winter day. I can't wait for spring when the soaring gets good...... And good rain in Arizona is ANY rain you can get. =) T |
