I'm watching that news between opening all my windows to the warm breezes of Caliente and hanging out washerloads of clothes because they smell and feel so much better than clothes dried in a dryer. The bright sun and warm breezes are drying them very quickly.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-46234882000626750562010-12-13T15:24:24.485-05:002010-12-13T15:24:24.485-05:00LL: I've heard multiple versions of just how ...LL: I've heard multiple versions of just how large an actual nuclear weapon needs to be to reach destructive proportions.

But actual day-to-day responsibility for enforcement lies with federal, state and local authorities. We are all cautioned to be wary and alert, and it's time to wake the FAA up. It needs to get its registration and intelligence houses in order and start activating cooperation with the "street cops" at the earliest possible time.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-23221441586832911732010-12-13T13:52:30.070-05:002010-12-13T13:52:30.070-05:00Hawk

Government meeting it's obligations shown wanting again.<br />Does border security come to mind?<br /><br />Automobile registration is passively checked by police officers all the time. Some times just to pass the time on a slow day. This kind of checkups does once in a while produce unregistered or stolen or any number of violations.<br /><br />When a violation is identified a routine traffic stop occurs. If proper documentation is produced that driver is on their way. If not, vehicles can and are impounded, court proceedings will be implemented fines and some times imprisonment results.<br /><br />Airplanes do spend a significant amount of their time on the ground. Is it impossible for personnel on an airport to check validity of registration in passing? The owners purchase fuel, maintenance and must get clearance to take off and land. There are so many places where registration can and should be confirmed. Checks of this nature could be accomplished at little or no additional cost.<br /><br />Most airports have mandated police officers who patrol the whole of the airport they should be doing this job as well.<br /><br />The real question beyond where are the unidentified aircraft is cost.<br />Does any one know what the FAA has cost taxpayers to not do it's job?Tehachapi Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-68787270837722850392010-12-13T13:10:41.885-05:002010-12-13T13:10:41.885-05:00Tennessee: That is probably the most important ho...Tennessee: That is probably the most important hole in federal thinking. OK, you blew it on 9-11, but who knew (or should have known)? Now, there is no excuse after nearly a decade for leaving potential terrorist delivery vehicles mis-identified, missing or simply unaccounted for. We don't know if N170301 is Fred Smith on his way to a shoe salesman's convention or Mohammed bin Killyall on his way to blow up city hall.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-69001595434200297042010-12-13T09:14:29.329-05:002010-12-13T09:14:29.329-05:00Hawk: you know what bothers me about this?
