Having read Lord Carlile's report he expresses a concern about the potential risk in GA. He also indicates that operators are alive to the issue and vigilant. If we continue to be so then we may be left alone, I certainly hope so.

I support the authorities on this issue and as much as you have to get off your holiday flight from Spain to show a passport and pass through any notion of a border control, why should anyone flying privately be any different?
Avoiding all that airport bureaucracy is one reason why I have an aeroplane of my own. It's also why the charter and air taxi market is booming. If you knew anything about security you would know that the criminals' documentation will be in apple pie order, though completely fraudulent
That's why vigilance and communication of intelligence is more effective and why the authorities are wise to seek co-operation from the GA community rather than impose excessive regulation which, as this thread shows all too clearly, is likely to be counterproductive.
