I don't disagree with any of the previous posts. However, I wouldn't dismiss such pieces of nonsense lightly; because they are nonsense does not mean they won't be listened to. There are a number of completely useless, pointless and ineffective restrictions on GA flying in the name of security that already exist - e.g. restricted areas around prisons and nuclear sites that provide no real protection.
It would only take some half-baked politician in a corner who wants a favourable press response to latch onto this and such flights could be history.
Perhaps a sensible question to ask, is what do we, the UK helicopter industry, do about this? The easiest thing may be to do nothing and keep your head down. However, if some politician takes up the "cause", who knows where it might lead.
