Exactly correct. The prior poster was misrepresting the statistics.
He must be a troll. |

After the incursion in May, posters were predicting all sorts of dire consequences for the next one.... and I predicted: The more often these occur without anybody seriously hurt, the less likely there will be a shoot-down because the previous experiences will suggest "low danger probability". ... and also the more likely that the media Indeed. The more these happen, the more people in DC will think, "Oh great, another damn cessna scare," the less photogenic mayhem will ensue, the less the media will cover it, the less anyone will likely give a damn. Personally, I think this might be a great opportunity for a bit of hard-core pork-barreling to get the gummint to subsidize ADS-B rigs for everyone. Double it in with a new ATC system and who cares about ten billion here or there? Might as well make lemons from lemonade... -cwk. (removing tongue from cheek) |

Who wants to "stop aviation?" Why would anyone want to do this? All we want is better regulation of GA, eliminate taxpayer subsidies for GA airports, upgrade pilot training so that these be a pilot in a month schools won't exist, change the FARs so that a turboprop cant legally circle over people's house all day long, expose the FAA corrupt, ineffective regulation of GA, etc. Every single day, some GA pilots prove that the industry is running amuck. I feel badly for the responsible majority of GA pilots, but a small minority is ruining it for all of you, especially those with calalier attitudes (protect baby seals - please). And Phil Boyer panders to the lowest common denominator. GA is pretty heavily regulated right now, in case you haven't noticed. I really don't think we need a whole lot more. GA did not cause 9-11 and now that there are 200 times as many TFR's as there were pre-911 you've got to expect a few more occasional violations. This USED to be more of a free country than it is today, in case you've forgotten. |

I couldn't agree with you less. I see very little reason for the ADIZ at all. And our government shooting down innocent citizens for no crime is tyranny if the first degree. The Department of Homeland Security needs to rethink this faulted policy that provides no additional security at all. Well stated Sir. Government's answer (it seems) to all of it's various problems is to implement more restrictions... create more new laws, etc. These laws really only have an effect on the law abiding citizens of the country. Criminals, AKA terroists, do not obey laws and could care less. Actually they are probably laughing at how much of the freedoms have been taken away from American citizens because of their actions. Its a joke. |

Oh, of course.... but I get this perverse satisfaction from recalling that page, just to review all the different possibilities by which that may cease..... :-) Actually, I very much appreciated the post. I will be quoting that site often! |

As awful as that would be, it might wake up the sheep. Did Waco or Ruby Ridge "wake the sheep?" Isn't sex with the 12 year old daughter of your parishioner illegal? |

When the entire Senate and House of Representatives, the First Lady and the President of the world's only superpower are forced to flee _imagined_ danger, it is not really funny; it's pathetic. It makes our noble nation look like it is lead by a bunch of undignified, scared little fools. Hmmm... :-) |
