Richard,

Hi, I wonder whether any of this will make passing through immigration easier if we could have TSA authorisation in advance.

I was made to feel like a criminal when I have said I planned to go flying even when all visa'd up like Christmas last year when I went to NAC.

I only hope their is some co-ordination so that the passage through immigration would be less hostile.

Frankly, I am seriously beginning to doubt whether it is worth it and although you say that it is not much, for the non training flyer ie the BFRs, 6/6ers ie those with no visa, it is a lottery as to whether you can get into the country when you say you plan to fly.

Personally, I dont want to not say to the authorities what I plan to do if they ask me because I like to be open and honest and flying is a material thing in this climate.

I will not be coming to Naples this Christmas for the first time in a few years because I dont want the hassle.
