 Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:13 pm Post subject: Additional TSA encroachment on GA beyond LASP |
 |
|
Fellow flyers:
TSA is pushing the LASP regulation through and at the same time
pushing a regulation through that doesn't have a public comment period
because it is masked by National Security. Rumor has it that the no
comment one is talking about badge access to all areas of any airport
that has air carrier serivce. The Bages will cost $200 per airport
and will be specific to each airport.
I decided to put comments in for the TSA proposal that they are
accepting comments for. It didn't take long. I believe it is one way
that we can stem additional erosion of our flying freedom. The the
LASP fails then the more draconian proposal shrouded in secrecy will
have no chance. Friday is the last day to comment. If you'd like to
do the same EAA will guide you through the process:
http://eaa.org/govt/tsa.asp#Comment
If you're lost for words Here is what I wrote:
The proposed security regulation attempts to make
cost benefit comparisons and show that the cost associated with the
regulations are clearly worth the benefits of avoiding a potential
terrorist attack. The reader is lead to conclude that no further
analysis is necessary. The analysis does not take into account the
value of the freedom of the American people and demonstrated
acceptance of risk by the American people. The continual erosion of
our way of life in the name of security is unacceptable.
Risk is associated with everything a human does.
In 2007 37,248 people perished in car accidents in the US. In the same
time period, exactly zero died in general aviation related terror
incidents. The greatest loss of life associated with the scenarios in
the analysis was 3000 from a September 11 type attack. Despite the
most horrific scenario that a general aviation security breach could
lead to the benefit would only be avoiding 1/10th that of what we
willingly accept every year on the roadways. If that the doomsday
event happens once every 10 years we are now proposing new
limitations on the freedom of the public for 1/100th of the accepted
risk associated driving a car. This risk we are trying to prevent
is only imagined and not demonstrated the way auto accident risk and
risk acceptance is demonstrated year after year. The public is not
crying out for auto accident risk mitigation nor should they. This
proposal falls in the same category: long odds against relatively
minor risks.
The analysis may seem to stand muster against the
limited scope of risk associated with general aviation but when
compared with risks that the American people accept on a daily basis
the reality is that general aviation does not pose a significant risk.
