Cogwheel, has anyone yet been thrown in handcuffs for diverting to an airport when they don't have an ASIC. I think you are looking for an answer to a problem that doesn't exist.
YPJT... Not at all. Have you operated thru a rural security airport without an ASIC?

Agreed that you are u are not likely to finish up in cuffs, but the hassle and time to get out of the airfield and back in can be quite convoluted and time consuming = pain in the butt! (Depending how the airfield management interpret the Regs)

What some are suggesting is that at rural airports there should be a section to which an ASIC is not required with GA access to the apron. As said above these rules seem to have been developed with no consideration for GA ops. That is the problem.
