The idea of making private aviation more restrictive with shutting down corridors for small planes would only be the start. Eventually someone would propose restricting private planes from populated areas all together. Anything from above is dangerous in the wrong hands ... but just like firearms, those that seek to do harm will. My biggest fear is losing our general aviation airports, particularly the privately operated grassroots airports with low volume. Where does it stop? We all understand sensitive areas, but just because an airplane is near NYC does not make it a threat. Thanks for the comment on my blog in support of general aviation.
