It sickens us to see that politics and selfish ambition have won
(again) over sense and reason... but that's the way of
the world we live in. Herein, the text of the Chicago TFR, the
latest battle in Richard Daley's senseless war against
aviation.
EAA PO'ed
EAA says they're extremely displeased with the
Bush Administration’s decision to give in to political
pressure in lieu of credible threat intelligence. “Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) officials had stated that they would not
introduce more widespread restrictions unless intelligence points
to a specific target or credible threat," EAA Executive Vice
President Bob Warner said. “Yet they are seemingly
caving in to Mayor Daley, who has a history of spurious
requests to severely restrict airspace above his city. We
call on the FAA and DHS to stick to their word; either produce the
specific, credible intelligence of a terrorist threat, or
cancel this TFR.”
