The Federal government keeps chipping away at freedoms we have taken for granted for decades. In the post 9\/11 hysteria bureaucrats everywhere are pushing for more government control over the most innocuous parts of everyday life. Probably because that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all they know how to do, make rules and punish those that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t follow them. The biggest problem with that is that the Jihadists are rarely around to punish after the fact.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the minorities that have to give up their freedoms first because there is no one to fight for them. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not talking just race here, I mean any minority. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a general aviation pilot and our freedoms have been under constant attack since 9\/11. If you are not a pilot you wont understand and you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care, but you should care because each bit of freedom belongs to everyone and once its gone you wont get it back. Think of every little encroachment on someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s freedoms as setting a precedent for the day that the government wants to take away your freedoms.<\/p>\n

\nImagine this: Every time you want to fly, you have to file a flight
\nplan. Before you can take off, you have to get a transponder code,
\nbut the landline you call to get it is busy most of the time. If
\nthere is an RCO (remote communications outlet) frequency for your
\nairport, you can rarely get a timely response from an overworked
\ncontroller. Services are falling off at your local FBO because
\nbusiness is down drastically. In fact, some of your favorite places
\non the field have already closed. Welcome to life in an air defense
\nidentification zone (ADIZ). Can’t happen in your area? Don’t bet on
\nit. At this moment, New York City has a “temporary” ADIZ. Chicago’s
\nMayor Richard Daley keeps pushing for one of his own. Any of the
\nother Class B airspace areas across the country could become an ADIZ
\nat a moment’s notice. That’s what happened in Washington, D.C.–where
\nthe “temporary” ADIZ was created on a weekend in response to a
\nheightened national threat level. But after the threat level was
\nreduced, the ADIZ remained. Now the FAA wants to make it permanent,
\nand the same thing could happen anywhere. “That’s why AOPA continues
\nto fight so hard against the Washington ADIZ,” said AOPA President
\nPhil Boyer. “And why–very soon–we will be asking all AOPA members
\nto join the fight. We must work together to prevent an ADIZ in your
\nbackyard.” Stay tuned. See AOPA Online<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
