Implementation of this gem has been postponed until June 1. View the document HERE ----------------------------------------------------------------- Aviation Subcommittee Contacts Lists are available here: Document 1 - Document 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Official Comments of Peachtree-Dekalb Airport concerning LASP - View document HERE ----------------------------------------------------------------- (a) What is the threat to America’s national security that demands that private (general) aviation in this country be crippled with concomitant loss of productivity, loss of personal liberty and adverse impacts on aircraft manufacturing, sales and servicing in the USA? (b) Would not TSA’s resources be better spent keeping the terrorists out of our country rather than destroying the civil liberties and productivity of law-abiding American citizens? After all, it is not the machine (whether aircraft or truck or ship) that presents the danger. It is the terrorist. (c) Did the TSA engage in a meaningful and honest assessment of what this proposed rule will cost the United States in terms of productivity at a time when our economy is crippled? (d) Does the TSA understand the difference between “common carriage” where a certificated air carrier must provide air transportation to anybody who buys a ticket or is willing to charter an air taxi flight as opposed to private (general) aviation where individuals and corporations employ their aircraft for business, humanitarian and recreational purposes? (e) Are the numbers in the TSA proposal that purport to quantify the adverse economic impact on general aviation realistic and candid or, rather has the TSA obscured the true and inevitable economic impact of this program on general aviation as a viable and secure means of transportation and on the aviation community as a whole, e.g., aircraft manufacturing, aircraft servicing, aircraft insurance? (f) The NPRM mentions future TSA security initiatives. What other initiatives or proposed rules or programs does TSA have in the development phase or under consideration for general aviation? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3/5/09 Notes from the TSA Meeting in Colorado - Read the details HERE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lawmakers warn of legal challenge to LASP The Transportation Security Administration is wading through more than 4,800 comments received on its proposed Large Aircraft Security Program. The agency is categorizing comments by topic before responding, but officials admit the feedback has been overwhelmingly negative. Nearly two dozen House Republicans warned of "possible legal challenges or congressional obstacles" if the LASP is not overhauled, and many critics have called for a government/industry task force to rewrite the rules. "The proposal fails to recognize the inherent differences that exist between private and commercial aviation," said AOPA President Craig Fuller, urging the TSA to work with industry representatives to "fill the sizeable information gaps."
