Today is the last day to comment on this threat to personal aviation:

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proposing new and
sweeping restrictions on general aviation aircraft. The proposal (Docket #
TSA-2008-0021), known as the "Large Aircraft Security Program" (LASP), would
impose new and onerous security regulations and restrictions on owners,
operators, pilots, and passengers, and on general aviation (GA) airports that
serve "large" aircraft.

As proposed, the LASP would apply only to aircraft with a maximum gross
takeoff weight (MTOW) over 12,500 pounds. But new regulations just finalized
by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security make it clear that the government
considers *all aircraft* to be potential threats --- from 747s to hot air
balloons.*
