This should not go through as it is written, should not go through if it is modified, there is simply no need to try and secure part 91 corporate flight departments. As mentioned previously, our best bet to securing our nations airspace are the pilots up front. Those of us flying part 91 know everyone we fly and would not let anyone onboard that would put our airplane and everything around it in jeopardy.
Nick -

I have not read the link but this was being discussed the other day amongst the group of pilots here. If I understand it - this proposal would be for ALL aircraft over 12,500#s. So...not only P91 flight Depts - but Richie Rich's own fully owned private jet would fall under these restrictions correct? Also - if this is the case, then EVERY last tiny FBO in the country is going to have to have a full security set-up for processing correct? IMAGINE the cost!
