Interesting piece of information:

Getting rid of the secret ballot for union organizing. Will secret
voting in general
elections be next? I wonder where the ACLU stands on this?

When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

Another example is the TSA wants all people that have access to the
flight ramp at airports where commercial operations occur, to have a
background check and a pass. This means if I land there to get fuel
and I am on the ramp to go to the toilet, get oil, use the phone I have
to have a background check and a pass.

The FBI has already done a check on anyone with a license.

Are you sure of this??


Very.

How about the Ultralight pilot?


That's just your type certification. The rest is the same.


Hey JC: The Ultralight pilot does not have a license. And while I have
always been responsible for my passenger's behavior, is this going to
statisfy the TSA? If I'm a charter pilot, I don't necessarily know my
passenger's background. Am I responsible for clearing them?


Hey maybe we just found a way to keep the ultralights away from airports.
Another freedom shot in the butt. Even if true, I'm still left with my
passengers. They can't get out of the plane and go to the toilet.


shrug
You are responsible for them and they shouldn't be wandering around on
their own in the first place.
Nothing scares me more than people on the ramp. Not even a fire, well -
maybe that.


Does this mean the death of airshows and fly-ins?


All this in the name of security. The cure is swiftly becoming worse
than the disease.

I think that this is another not-thought-out piece of bureacratic BS that
will be increasingly a more common experience with a "Stronger Government"

I suppose.
