NEW TSA REGULATIONS THREATEN BOMBER FLIGHTS??!!

[wendovertom]

I am sure someone here can further enlighten me about the issue that the Collings Foundation and probably the CAF are facing with the TSA proposed rule "Docket Number TSA 2008-0021, Large Aircraft Security Program, Other Aircraft Operator Security Program and Airport Operator Security Program"

This sounds like a terrible rule that would kill the wings of freedom tour and maybe all bigger historic aircraft operations.

If you know more please share with the group here - I'm calling my Rep and Senator!

I don't know anything about it, but if that is true, that sucks.

Umm... this was brought up a few months ago guys when the NPRM was initially issued. There's a thread here on the forum called "New TSA Rule" or something to that effect.

Edit: Here's the thread -

The first item in the list is the document. Click the PDF file to read the 67 page document.

it does more than threaten bomber flights, it threatens the use of a pilot's or owners use of personal property. They want to require fingerprinting and background checks of the flight crew, even if the flight crew is the owner of the aircraft, as well as screening of passengers, even if passengers are the owners family, friends or employees.

it is BS, pure and simple, and if it could be bagged and sold, would be the best fertilzer ever invented.

While this has been brought up before, I'm glad for the repost as I hope everyone will comment on this.

Do you just click on the link under the person's name that says Send a Comment? It looks like that adds it to that particular person's comments. Is that right?

I don't know for sure, but I clicked on the button to the right of the initial TSA document.

Maybe someone else is more familiar with the process...

[Django]

That helped Ryan. I was too deep into the comment section when trying to post comments. Thanks!

[Ztex]

I was not able to post a comment earlier...I was able to do so today!

Thanks for bringing this back to our attention.

It is important that we stand up for our aviation. Airports and airplanes are threatened b this mess....

[Django]

It appears my comments are not showing up? Crap, what did I do wrong this time? I got the confirmation number.

[RyanShort1]

I got a confirmation number, too, but my comments aren't there yet either. I wonder if it takes time to show up. I'll give it about a day, then try again if nothing appears.

I bet the majority of the comments never see the light of day

[RyanShort1]

We'll see. The last time something like this was going on was with the Air Tour issue. I know a lot of comments did make it through including mine.
