So what's next? Implanted transponders in each of us so Tony's control-freak goons can know where each of us is at any time?

CCTV covers most aspects of our lives today in towns and on the roads. One of the last great feedoms in this country is a VFR non-radio bimble outside CAS, with no-one even knowing you're doing it.

Still, I suppose if they felt they couldn't control it, they'd ban it. Timothy is correct to say we don't have much of a voice here, but his advice to 'be good and keep our house in order', while wise in that it should be followed, will not make this go away. The control freaks have us in their sights

At the very least, if the air transport industry wants to protect themselves from us, they should foot the bill. Imagine the outcry if every motorist had shell out thousands of pounds to ease the lives of bus and truck operators?
