Hmmm

Before we fly we have to check the current weather conditions and area forecasts through an FAA web site which you have to log into with a username and password assigned to you by the FAA. Well today when I logged in I had the following message pop up which I thought was kind of interesting.

***********************************************************************
**********************NOTICE******NOTICE******NOTICE**************
* The U.S. Government continues to receive credible indications that
extremist individuals are planning additional terrorist operations
against U.S. and Western interests within the U.S. and overseas. Such
operations, possibly involving civil and general aviation (GA) aircraft,
could be carried out whenever attack preparations are complete and
operatives are in place. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
has no credible information concerning specific targets, timing, or
methods of attack. However, the GA community should observe good
physical security for aircraft and facilities and be continuously on the
lookout for suspicious persons, activities, and operations around airports.

* Terrorists who are no longer able to hijack commercial airliners because
of increased security at commercial airports may turn to GA airports and
aircraft to conduct operations.

* The TSA asks members of the GA community to report all unusual and
suspicious activities. If you observe persons, aircraft, and operations
that do not fit the customary pattern at your airport, you should
immediately advise law enforcement authorities.

* Your immediate action is requested for these items:
- Secure unattended aircraft to prevent unauthorized use.
- Verify the identification of crew and passengers prior to departure.
- Verify that baggage and cargo are known to the persons on board.
- Where identification systems are in place, encourage employees to
wear proper identification and challenge persons not wearing proper
identification.

* Increased vigilance should be directed toward the following:
- Aircraft with unusual or unauthorized modifications.
- Persons loitering in the vicinity of aircraft or air operations areas.
- Persons who appear to be under stress or the control of other persons.
- Persons whose identification appears altered or inconsistent.

* With Aviation Security the primary issue in the United States today
the FAA has issued the following WARNING which is directed at
unauthorized users, abusers, and hackers and is not meant to
discourage legitimate users in any way. DUATS is a free FAA
sponsored service to pilots, dispatchers and others authorized by
the FAA. Legitimate users are encouraged to use DUATS as much as
needed and without reservation.

I wonder if anyones reported me for always telling everyone that I only want to learn to fly large aircraft once their in the air with no regard to takeoff or landing?
