yes, and we have all kinds of regulations on driving. I'd like to go 100MPH, maybe I'd like to speed past a school, etc. I can't.

99% of where private pilots go will be unaffected by this. but something is not right about this incident - and our enemies are watching. the same way our enemies watched and knew that the holes in pre-9/11 aviation security could allow them to pull of those hijackings, they saw what happened today.

I seem to remember a recent incident where some goofball with his feet on backwards shook the tail off an Airbus resulting in it raining down on a New York neighborhood. Don't recall you suggesting restrictions on airliner flight paths or suggesting closing down La Guardia.

Obviously, we should preempt the terrosists by restricting everything that they might posssibly use to attack us. Let's just go ahead and do their job for them...I can see I'm getting nowhere here.

Have a safe day.

The post-911 world impinges on people returning to a pre-911 life. Soldiers are off fighting terrorists somewhere and we are safe again behind the oceans and can go on like it never happened. Thinking about it is a downer and interferes with stuff we like to do.

We can either unify behind the President and present a united front for our security or we can undercut the President for short-term political gain...easy choice...political gain as we are safe behind the oceans.

We can either profile for likely terrorists or we can feel good about ourselves and search grandma and Medal of Honor winners....easy choice....feeling good about ourselves since we are safe beyond the oceans.

Restricted airspace around potential terrorist targets or flying wherever the hell we want because we like it....easy choice...we like what we like and we are safe behind the oceans.

Pretty wild times we live in.
