The Eclipse 500 will allow travelers to fly point-to-point to more than 10,000 airports in the U.S. alone, ushering in an age where point-to-point private jet travel will be available to everyone at affordable prices.

Sounds like a lot of federalized security screeners to me!

No that's the point, No more Daschel-ized $13 per/hr McSecurity Guard busting your Grandma's chops for having her knitting needles with her.

Actually you might be able to eliminate, or at least reduce, the screening. The planes are small so they don't have the destructive capability of the jumbo jets if hijacked and crashed. And with only a few passengers the planes aren't a big target for terrorists. Yes, Pali-style suicide bombers could keep some level of security in place, but the inanity of prohibiting nail clippers would be past.
