I do not understand the logic of some of the goings on in the US.
They say they are worried that the relatives of a pilot may be held hostage blah blah.
Actually, I've heard this argument mostly from non US folks on the PPrune......... Personally, I find it a fairly weak argument, but there is SOME logic in it, which is the reason that the US authorities have never even thought of it.
Yet, they publish the name and address of license holders?
I do not comprehend the logic behind this at all!
Don't feel bad..... there is no logic to it. It is all eyewash to appease a squeamish public.
