Fact is, terrorists all over the world prefer cars and trucks as delivery systems. I think the reasonthe government/TSA fears the GA population include - do strange things in large dark hangars which are locked to outsiders 99% of the time - they are an unconventional lot who shun conformity - there are too few traffic cops in the sky to control this unruly hoard of heathens - they flock to secret meetings at places like OSH and Sun and Fun - they are techno freaks who squander their family and corporate wealth on strange boxes, more costly than their weight in gold - they speak a strange language full of acronyms like ILS, MEA, MOCA, TBO, RAILS, IAF...... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
