"This was an extraordinarily dangerous incident, folks. The TSA has neither the mandate nor the knowledge to inspect any aircraft for any reason. The stupidity of this matter is nearly unbelievable... until you hear that the TSA is involved... then it becomes understandable, though still tragic. And I can not tell you how frustrating it is, to see them continue to hurt an industry that they were created to protect."

Jim Campbell is my new hero. The article he wrote is excellent and voices the real concerns that the professional piloting world has with the ridiculous TSA.

I say that TSA personnel should not be allowed past the security checkpoint, that the rest of the airport should be the territory of real police with real training and experience. The TSA idiots with their Cracker Jack badges have no business on the ramp. None.

If the TSA ever gets mixed up with general aviaiton I hope they start out their glorious riegn of terror by walking into props.

-35 TSA agents killed in separate incidents in the first week of general aviation inpsection duty when they appraoched running aircraft...
