Bob, you are more than entitled to your opinion, just as Aviation Planning is entitled to theirs. If course, their opinion exists purely and solely to get the face of their president in the media, and generate consulting business for them.
Of course, 99.7% or so of the American public disagrees with both you and them, so in real world terms, it is all pretty irrelevant for now.
Note that Aviation Planning hasn't used all of their moral outrage to do anything other than issue press releases. They haven't found a candidate to support who will oppose the TSA and increased security... because there aren't any. I can't find any records of them participating in the political process at all. If someone else has, please feel free to correct me. They look to be in this for the money, based on the available evidence. The big problem is that they are fighting a battle that exists only to a tiny minority of the population.
Bob, I am just one of about 220 million people who think this way, so it probably isn't necessary to personalize these posts and direct them to me. If you have an urgent need to speak to me directly, just email me.
