I had to go look up the Business & GA issue about the "Twelve-five Rule." More here.

The initial version of a new security programme for larger general aviation aircraft could be completed as early as this quarter, according to the National Business Aviation Association.
Prepared by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and industry groups over the past few years, the new programme is likely to include measures to verify the identity of pilots and passengers, though specific protocols are not being discussed, says Douglas Carr, vice-president of safety and regulation for NBAA. The new measures, which are sometimes referred to as the Large Aircraft Standard Security Programme, will complement TSA's "Twelve-five" security programme which requires Part 135 charter aircraft with maximum take-off weights of more than 5,680kg (12,500lb) to comply with various standards including a criminal records check and staff finger printing. A similar programme is aimed at on-demand operators of private charter aircraft with a maximum take off weight of up to 43,000kg.

Now $ignature will be able to charge even more money to wand-down pilots and passengers.
Maybe we'll finally get some Congressional action as top executives get a wand stuck up their....

Life itself carries with it a certain amount of risk. If we try to address every conceivable threat to air travel, we will either be: (A) Bankrupt (B) Ground-bound or both.
