"TSA conducts ‘inappropriate’ screenings at FBOs"
Older news, yet interesting. Appears this would have been on the FBO side of MLB (which also has commercial traffic):
http://www.generalaviationnews.com/?p=5469 Posted by Tom Norton · February 4, 2009 “A few months ago, the T-hangar tenants at MLB, where I keep my airplane (I have been in the same T-hangar for 25 years), were subjected to intense scrutiny by TSA. T-hangar tenants were frisked and our cars were searched, some people repeatedly in the same week,” he wrote. “Some TSA agents even opened cars without permission (and no warrant). All of the aircraft in the T-hangars are singles and light twins, no heavy metal. All of the T-hangar tenants are badged by the airport police, and presumably checked out before the photo badge is issued.” “TSA was specifically asked if there is someone who can be given advance notice when a pilot travels with a gun. The answer was no. If TSA finds a gun, they will detain the pilot and call the airport police. Period. The airport chief of police was at our meeting, and stated that he is okay if the firearm is unloaded and properly stored. TSA stated they will still detain the pilot and call the airport police.” GeneralAviationNews.com has been told that the TSA actions at Nashville and Melbourne were based on a TSA document called Playbook, which outlines TSA plans for random screenings at FBOs and hangars. Playbook is, apparently, a training exercise as the Melbourne pilots were told. NBAA raised concerns about Playbook before any of the events took place and at least one, scheduled for Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, was canceled, NBAA’s Carr said. |

I think it's legal to shoot someone in Florida if you see them breaking into your car. That should put a stop to Operation Playbook.
