It's only a matter of time before the TSA gets their tentacles in more deeply into general aviation. As we all know, they're a massive bureaucracy. Massive bureaucracies are only interested in self-preservation through expansion, i.e. creating a perception of increased need for their (ahem)"services". Eventually, no one will be safe from the TSA.

But how is it going to work??? VNY and PBI have 8-9 FBOs, HPN and TEB have 10+. What are they going to do, install a screening machine at every FBO on the field???
I can see it now, TSA setting up their little car-wash thing at Pepsi's hangr to screen pepsi's employees about to board a pepsi owned challenger... Pepsi's CEO Mrs. Indra Nooyi would probably say "OH HELL NO"

TSA scares me more than than a double dip recession... they could do a lot of damage to corporate flying.

Homeland Security, the overseer of the TSA, is already at Wal Mart. Seriously. They have a program in 2700 or so Wal Marts that if any one sees anything suspicious they are encouraged to inform that stores general manager, who has received training from Homeland Security. Essentially Homeland Security has deputized Wal Mart GM's. This was reported on the CBC radio network (Canadian Broadcasting Company) in mid December. Funny, no mention of it in the US press/media.

The screening at Signature KBOS has nothing to do with the TSA. That is all Massport's doing. And, they have been doing that for way more than 3 years. That crap started shortly after 9-11. If Massport had half of the authority that the TSA has, we'd all wish for the TSA.
