It is well that we have AOPA, EAA, GAMA and other general aviation organizations to blow a whistle on this type of government closed door planning for the sake of "security", which I believe is behind it.
We do need security around our airports but we don't have to go nuts over it. General Aviation is an easy target compared to the trucking industry so they go the easy route to convince the public they are doing something about the issue. It's window dressing just like airport security at major airports. Before 911 it was joke and since then it has become reactionary and has not filled anyone with much confidence it is working.
We do have a huge security challenge in that the enemy is working feverishly to acquire small nuke technology. The next step is a delivery system. At present our transportation system, especially trucking, is a likely vehicle. Small airplanes might be also, but surface attack is more likely.
I believe that is what this is all about and for sure the planning is on going.
