Someone has been drinking the TSA's koolaid!

Every 135 and part 91 operator has the utmost interest in protecting their assests, and they will take proper precautions for whom they let onboard their aircraft. The only one I'd really think would have even a remote issue would be NetJets because they are so large, but I'm sure they have some sort of system about their customers. Most charter departments usually know the pax they are hauling, because they are either long-time customers, or were recommended to them by other customers. Let's all use some "Common Sense" that seems to have gone the way of the DoDo bird!

And for what it's worth, no amount of security in the world is going to stop someone from doing something if the inteligence isn't there to find out before hand or leading directly up to that point. Just my .02

As far as flying into the ADIZ etc...... No kidding 121 can fly into there. There is a lot of control over you guys as far as schedule, employee's, and obviously your business is in the business to get people to those Destinations. Be glad the gov't let you in there. I'm sure there's more restrictions on the approaches and how you get in there now as part of the deal. I've flown into IAD in a C310 on charter, and another airport within the ADIZ with no issues.

All these "rules" do is just add more complication to existing functions of the gov't and added expense to everyone involved. It's OUR responsibility to properly secure our aircraft both in the air, and on the ground, and to protect our rights as pilots, and the rights of our passengers whom might not know what comes their way. I hope many of you submitted your opinions to the public comments section for the rule!
