Hi all,
I think that rather than bitching about all this we should take the time to be thankful for the safety and security we now enjoy because our valiant government made such wise and non knee-jerk decisions regarding the very real threat that aviation has always posed in this country.
I must admit that at first I was sceptical but now I am a firm supporter, in fact since my local airfield installed it's beautiful new, government funded, 6 foot barb wire topped fence and security gates there has been NO hijackings, explosions, gun related crime or other misc terrorist incidents at all... NONE!
Now compare this to all the terror and threats we endured throughout the years before and this is a great result, and proves that all the extra expense and hassles we now deal with as aviation employees and enthusiasts is well worth it.

On a faintly positive note it probably also has a lot fewer feral pigs, stray dogs, old codgers in hatchbacks trying to find the Virgin carpark and dudes going night-fishing, too. Actually it's alleged that the fishing dudes just bought themselves some ladders, but ya can't have everything!

You can drive a boat so close to the end of rwy24 at XXXX you can almost read a landing pilots ASIC, and there's no fence to stop someone from walking on to the rwy , yet this is a security controlled airport with several RPT DJ, JQ and ZL flights daily.
