TSA

Ladies and gentleman....................it has become an extremely sad day, now that we cannot reach our own private aircraft, because a very useless directive from TSA.  

 Example: We landed at an alternate airport late last evening due to weather issues.  Exited the airport, which now has NO access gate code for entry back to our aircraft.  We are now unable to get to our airplane!!  Unless you have registered with some desginated FBO [or otherwise], which I might add must be during their business hours, or you have a friend at that particular airport with a new TSA badge, there is no way to get back to your plane. 

I will, if need be, jump the fence or whatever is needed to get to my plane, which more than likely turns me into a criminal!! This is truly a sad state of affairs.  You must, if you haven't already, write your state representives now, and express your feelings on this most unfortunate and ridiculous situation. 

It is truly pathetic, that we are kept from our possession by this worthless directive.  It serves no one....................a true terrorist is not going to be stopped by a simple 6 foot fence or mechanical gate.  This simply punishes us aircraft owners and no one else.  Another tremendous loss of our freedom!!  Am I angry, you bet!!!!!!!!!!!...........as we all should be.
