Connecticut considers "booting" aircraft

After a drunk 20-year old stole a Cessna for a joyride, the Governor of
Connecticut says he will consider installing "boots" on all aircraft to
prevent theft.

Connecticut: taking the lead on transportation security.

Are they going to install boots on all automobiles, since there are hundreds
of cars stolen by drunks?

And, what about bicycles?

Colin

How about booting drunks?

He'll look pretty funny putting a boot on a helo!

"HE" is a "SHE". Gov Jody Rell.

The former "HE" is in federal prison.

She also said the now infamous Supreme Court decision allowing the
state to take private property and give it to another private
individual is "needed".

Lucky for us she's a republician. (that's a joke).

That's it from the highest taxed state in the Union where government
land grabs to the highest political donators are legal. What would our
founding fathers say? For shame.

Signed: dumbfounded in CT.

That crap (abusing emminent domain to trranfer property from one
private owner to another) has been going on for many decades now.

I'm surprised it took this long for a case to get to the USSC, my
guess is that the lower courts have simply been refusing appeals.

It seems to me that taking any ad valorem tax-exempt property would
qualify as being for the public good. Look out churches!

And airports around here are not tax exempt.
