Today's (June 18th) edition of AOPA's AviationEbrief confirms the fact that the geniuses in Homeland Security have finally admitted that the concerns over GA airport security and small planes were "Mostly hypothetical.” Imagine that. So what we have here is a policy of badging pilots and others and filing of flight plans in advance for across the border flights being implemented based upon a hypothesis that we could be security risks. It seems to me that when pilots attempt to comply with these new regulations, they are hauled out of their aircraft at gunpoint. I'll just bet that President Obama will take credit for the creation of all the new jobs involved with businesses and airports hiring now required security directors. I am not making this up. It comes from the Inspector General of The Homeland Security Department. Read the article yourselves and you decide. I firmly believe that HSA/TSA is like a runaway locomotive. Nobody is at the controls.
