New security realities ground plane watcher

Lansing State Journal Article

"But on Friday, Ball said, a different officer ordered him to leave. Ball described the encounter this way:

"He said there was a federal law that I couldn't observe aircraft from that place.

"I asked, 'Where, then?'

"He said, 'No place.' He said there was a law that I couldn't observe aircraft."

Actually, it's not a federal law. It's part of Capital City Airport's security plan, approved by the federal Transportation Security Administration.

In any case, Ball didn't believe it.

"I thought the new airport director wanted to interact with the public - not turn us away...

... What do you think? Call John Schneider at 377-1175, send a fax to 377-1298 or e-mail [email protected]"

I hope this guy sues the director of the airport. This is nothing but harassment.
