Default FBO Security (SHOCKING VIDEO!!!)

This is a local news clip from a small town airport(KEXX) in Lexington, NC.The aviation community is in disbelief that Mr. Tate would make such statements to the media especially the one about packing explosives in the aircraft. Aviation is suffering enough without this type of publicity.

WOW!

What was he trying to accomplish?

He said some things that didn't need said outside the aviation community. The general public didn't need to know.

Agreed - a case of the media doing more harm than good in this instance.

General public has a short attention span ,give it about 2-3 days and all will be forgotten.

I'm not worried about the general public, rather the one nut-job out there looking to make some sort of statement.

I can pack more explosives in my truck than I can most light aircraft. Are they going to start limiting my access to my garage?

All they've done is prove what most people already understand. 100% security means zero freedoms and liberty. Welcome to the balancing act jackasses.

The explosives aspect was not the part that really bothered me. There was another issue, commonly known in aviation circles for years, that should have stayed "in the family".
