The proposed rule would ensnare much of the private charter fleet, as just about anything jet powered which carries more than 6 people is either approaching or exceeding 12,5 MTOW.

Let's see if the industry trade groups and AOPA get their balls in gear and fight back.

I'd say 'good luck' to the TSA if they want to screen me before I board my own 12,5+ owned and operated private aircraft. What's next, a WTMD before I enter my own home?

The VLJs which are coming to market, and will make up the bulk of the air taxi fleet and high-powered private aircraft will escape the restrictions - but for how long?
