Folks

If you get a chance, have a look at the article in Flight International (21 Dec - 4 Jan) at the top of Page 21, entitled "Industry welcomes security review".

"The US general aviation community is breathing a collective sigh of relief following the release of the long-awaited Government Accountability Office report on general aviation security.

In its study, which was commisioned last year by the US Congress to assess the vulnerability of GA aircraft and airports to potential terrorist activity, the GAO acknowledges "the small size, lack of fuel capacity and minimal destructive power of most general aviation aircraft make them unattractive to terrorists and thereby, reduces the possibility of threat associated with their misuse...........etc etc"


Maybe the GAO read this thread? Perhaps Philthy could add the article as a pp to his DOTARS letter!!
