It'd be a hell of a lot worse for us if it wasn't for AOPA. But I hear enough from the old timers about how it used to be to know that we've lost a lot of ground already. Hell, we've lost ground in the short time I've been flying (3 years). One of the flight instructors at my local airport is fond of saying, "You know? I bet you won't believe this, but I actually remember when this was a free country." More to come I'm afraid and worse, it's what the majority of Sheeple want. bcnu, Mikem Eine Leute. Eine Welt.

A 182 loaded with all the fuel and dynamite it can drag off the ground would have only wrecked a couple suites in the WTC.

I mean, hell, look at the new requirements for turning CFI's at small country airports into de facto Immigration agents? And immediately post-9/11, GA was grounded longer than either commercial or cargo traffic. Just take a look at the idiotic ADIZ or any of the plethora of "Temporary" flight restricted areas for GA in place now for over three years. bcnu, Mikem Eine Leute. Eine Welt. Ein F\ufffdhrer.
