"The government should either reopen Reagan National to general aviation--the term for private flights other than those offered by large commercial airlines--or stop granting waivers to dignitaries to fly into the airport, members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee told representatives of the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration at a hearing.

"This seems to add not one iota of security to the national capital region, yet it has cost the local economy millions of dollars and, unfortunately, hundreds of hard-working people have been put out of work," said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the aviation subcommittee, which held the hearing."

Accusations of favoritism and cronyism at the TSA??? Shocking!
