Encounters with Homeland Security
Annals of the Security State: More Airplane Stories - James Fallows - The Atlantic
This guy is the organizer for the Beechcraft Bonanza formation that flies into oshkosh every year. His route was 'suspicious' so DHS tracked him and technically 'detained' him for TWO hours.

It boggles my mind that so many people - so many pilots even - are either OK with this nonsense or fully support this nonsense.
I realize I'm in the minority here - I won't even ride as pax on a commercial flight because I, for one, still believe in the fourth amendment. I strongly support fttusa.org .
AOPA seems to be OK with this too. Really? Can we say "the death of general aviation"? You have your flying job, so you do not care about general aviation?
There seems to be a totally different consensus on this issue at AVWEB.
Interesting.

I for one would rather live in a town where everyone who legally could be armed was. Then one that touted it was gun free.
The sheep were asleep and the wolves have taken over. All you can do is vote. Please don't be respectful to the d bags who work for us in DC. Yell at them every chance you get. They have to start to fear for their jobs. Then change will take place.

he only thing I like about the TSA and DHS is that the hassle of flying on the airlines makes GA look better and better everyday.
