"TSA reported vetting about 4 million individuals holding FAA airman certificates as of February 2010. TSA ran 6.8 million checks against the TSDB in vetting the pilots. In vetting the pilots, TSA identified about 29,000 certificates that matched names in the terrorist database.

After administrative review, TSA determined that about 28,500 of the terrorist matches were invalid. However, it conducted security investigations on the remaining 506 pilots whose names came up on the TSDB. It further recommended the termination of pilot privileges for 27 of them."

Wow. Seems like a pilot witch hunt underway. IMO.

Wonder how much money the Gov't would free up if we just shut down the TSA, at least it'd be a nice start towards the never-going-to-happen balanced budget.

I didn't know about it until saturday when I shot it with a local pilot. I didn't even pay much attention to it until he said something. I was too busy grumbling because we had to slow down a lot for a PC12, we were in a TBM850.
