Good points, but if there is an GA Airport Watch Program - we should endeavor to participate. Most of the things that the TSA does is total window dressing anyway, but I would rather do something voluntarily then be mandated to the level of ridiculousness. Recently, they almost made small GA aircraft participate under the same security screening program that commercial airlines follow for checked baggage! There is no significant threat from small aircraft, but that hasn't stopped the TSA from regulating GA aircraft. If we demonstrate that we take aiport security seriously, then it is better for everyone concerned... right? Is it really an over-reaction to ask someone for I.D. and to follow the bare minimum concerning security protocols?
