I know that the flyers have been focused on the LASP. It's the 800 lbs gorilla in the room and could impact our GA flying the most. But our GA Community needs to remember that there was another component to that particular NPRM, the Airport Operators Security Program--the 750 lbs gorilla. Just like SD-08G was an end-around on the LASP after TSA was forced to retreat and regroup after receiving over nine thousand negative responses, the AOSP represents another opportunity to make a show of appeasing the flyers with Son-of-LASP while enacting the same security burdens by placing them on the airport operators. In the end the cost burdens will still reach our flying community whether directly by the LASP or indirectly by increased prices for goods and services charged by affected airports via the AOSP. The LASP and its many related proposals represent slippery slope bureaucracy. Successfully fending off Son-of-LASP will be an exercise in futility if the other security proposals are not given the same laser-like focus by our GA Community. For the aviation-ignorant government bureaucrat there is little difference between 30,000 lbs and 12,500 lbs--or 1,320 lbs for that matter. To them they are just numbers and easily changed over time. Again, thanks for your great website. Cheers from the Alamo, Dave David C.
