Currently after 9/11 about 5,000 citizens in America are on a 'No learn to fly List'.. the FAA has said Publicly they have no right to do background checks if ANYONE wants to learn to fly. So as of Today ANYONE can fly around in our skies, whether or not they are on the List! hmmmm where did Homeland security go?
They will check Granma's underware, and the Babies Diapers, but hey, Let anyone Fly the Skies in their Own Airplane?? something is turned around here, don't ya think?
