National "Fly" List
Anyone who knows the history of oppressive governments HAD to see this coming. Anyone who watches the out of control, unrestrained, and irresponsible federal government of America had to know this is where we were going.
The TSA is proposing changing the current "no-fly" list into a "fly" list. In other words, if you want to fly on a commercial flight in America, even a domestic flight, you will have to soon ask permission. You see, that pesky "no fly" list isn't working. So, in order to save you, they're going to only let "approved" people fly. Does this sound a teensy bit like communist Russia in it's heyday? But hey, you didn't need to have freedom to travel, did you? And after all, you're not doing anything wrong, so why does this bother you? Now shut up and get back to work making money for government to spend.

I'm so glad I got my private pilot's license. No "fly lists." No metal detectors. No cavity searches. No shoe removal. And no grouchy flight attendants! It takes a little longer to get where you're going and costs a little more, but it is soooo worth it.

I'm amazed they let you do that without even more anal exams than everyone else. Maybe next week that will happen...

Well, at least they are making students prove they are here legally now. I had to show my passport to my instructor before I could solo. (He wasn't in a rush to see it, it's kind of obvious I don't fit the profile of a hijacker.)

Well, you're not a middle eastern male between the ages of 18 and 25, so you clearly DO fit the standard terrorist profile.
