Subject: [LML] !IMPORTANT! New TSA Security Directive -- this is NOT the Lar= ge Aircraft Security rules, this is different

All,
 
There is a new security directive that is separat= e and distinct from the Large Aircraft Security program the TSA is implement= ing.  Below are the details. 
 
Folks this is serious.  I first heard of thi= s at a local board meeting at Walker field.  I met it with initial disb= elief, but it was verified later in Montrose by a TSA official.  Get th= e word out to other groups and folks that you know, it=E2=80=99s going to be= tough if they manage to get this implemented.  We need our representat= ives to know about this, I=E2=80=99m not sure they do.  <= /div>
 
Thanks
Kevin
 
 
Please know that this is a plan= ned and stealth attack on General Aviation by a rogue agency dba TSA. This S= ecurity Directive (SD1542-08-04-F) is not open for public comment and was sl= ated to be implemented under the radar while we all are fighting ANOTHER rid= iculous TSA mandate TSA-2008-0021 (LASP). This will surely nail the coffin o= n General Aviation and devastate many, many industries and careers if implem= ented.
 
We cannot even gain access to t= his SD since it is being cloaked in the secrecy of sensitive "national secur= ity" matters.
 
Responses from aviation organ= izations such as AOPA, NBAA and EAA indicate that they are aware of it, but=20= powerless to stop it.
 
I am copying you on an email I=20= sent to all my friends in aviation after I attended a meeting with TSA perso= nnel last night at the Montrose County Commissioner's office (MTJ). I have a= lso attached what little I could find of this SD, along with a response from= AOPA:
 
I wanted to let you all know of a ver= y disturbing TSA Security Directive
(SD) that is being implemented under=20= the radar that affects ALL U.S.
airports with commercial Part 121 sch= eduled airline service.
 
This is reality folks, and several=20= of us here in good ol=E2=80=99 western Colorado attended a meeting with TSA=20= personnel tonight in Montrose MTJ and confirmed this shocking news firsthand= .
 
This SD would require that every pers= on who steps foot in the airport operations area be screened for security cl= earance and badged before being allowed to have access on the ramp. If you a= re not badged, then you must wait to be escorted by a badged representative=20= and escorted off the AOA.
 
This means that if you are flying int= o GJT, you would have to wait in your cockpit until someone escorted you dir= ectly to the FBO. That means no more self-serve fueling opportunities unless= someone is there to meet you, no more mingling on the ramp and talking to y= our buddies=E2=80=A6...no more freedom.
 
However, here is the kicker =E2= =80=93 Let=E2=80=99s say you go through this security clearance at your loca= l airport (a $175 fee at GJT) and want to fly anywhere else and land at an a= irport with scheduled commercial airline service i.e. Montrose, Vail, Tellur= ide, Loveland, Long Beach, Ontario, Santa Ana etc. you will have to be badge= d at EACH airport!
 
The way the SD is written now (and is= effective April 30, 2009) there is no provision for a standardized security= clearance. Each airport operates independently of every other airport!!!!!!= This is complete madness. This will drive the nail in the coffin of GA, and= combined with the TSA Large Aircraft Security Proposal (LASP) would virtual= ly destroy the freedoms that all of us have known our entire aviation career= s!
 
AOPA was not aware of this until last= week, NBAA, NATA, EAA are caught off guard. You need to understand what thi= s will do to our industry.
 
The TSA personnel are not even allowi= ng us to view this 14 page directive because it is deemed sensitive to =E2= =80=9Cnational security=E2=80=9D. Our freedoms are being stripped away right= before our eyes.
 
As soon as we can get our hands on th= is document we will make it public to everyone in the aviation community. Pl= ease take the time to question your local TSA representatives about this pro= posal and get involved.
 
If this thing is implemented, just th= ink how long it will take to be a requirement of EVERY airport in the U.S. <= /SPAN>
If there was ever a time for action,=20= this is it.
 
AOPA Response
 
Mr. Miller,
 
Thank you for contacting the AOPA Pil= ot Information Center.  Yes, AOPA is aware of this mandate.  Unfor= tunately, despite our best efforts, the TSA is proceeding with this program.=   While the full details of the program are classified, it will essenti= ally require all persons with access to the secure portion of the airport ha= ve a TSA approved airport access badge.  If you have any specific quest= ions about this program, please feel free to contact us.
 
If I can be of further assistance, fe= el free to contact me.
