I like the "Developing story: blah blah memory chip handheld GPS blah blah blah". WTF? Is this really THAT news worthy CNN needs to put it on the top of their page surrounded in yellow/orange "danger" colors??? Talk about a slow news day! EDIT: I guess something else came up. It's gone now!

I'm hoping that with the news media's generally short attention span, this nonsense will blow over quickly.

As we know, CNN has been known to provide highly scientific and accurate polls.

In all fairness I don't think people are worried about 2 ton airplanes with 100 or so gallons of fuel hitting a sky scraper. What I think people are worried about is something like a chemical or biological weapon be deployed from a GA aircraft.

I have a feeling that the talks of an outright ban or restriction of airspace over major cities will be forgotten as soon as the next scandal and/or round of "junk food" news emerges. If they did manage to pass something, hopefully, they'll be reasonable and not listen to the "Nancy Grace" types; perhaps, just deciding to re-evaluate certain areas which I could understand. | |

I thought 152's had a total of around 26 gallons.... Indeed, this will probably be eclipsed by more of Madonna dancing with orphans in the deserts of Africa or something to do with Paris Hilton... |
