I say again, the authorities are all too willing to distinguish between GA and airlines but when it suits them lump us all back in as one. Funny that it doesn't work the other way round. Hey, why not impose these security systems at ALL airfields and really screw up the entire GA industry. This is simply a case of a kneejerk reaction and people who don't understand the whole flying thing trying to justify their jobs. I do agree that COMMERCIAL flying needs proper security but GA - come on!
Interesting that at Bournemouth, you don't have to go through central security...
Maybe you should refrain from using said field and spend more time around the all together more inviting field of Bournemouth.
Finally, I am reading a flow of reports at the moment from both pilots (commercial) and air side staff who are severly restricted on what they can now take through.
It aint just GA.
