The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is extending the comment period on the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) regarding the Aircraft Repair Station Security Program. The comment period will now end on Feb. 19, instead of Jan. 19.
Why should you care? Because what affects your mechanic is going to affect your bottom line, according to aviation security expert David Hook in his guest editorial on our website.

In my opinion the TSA and our government is completely out of line and has no business or reason to infringe on aircraft maintenance shops large or small. They can make all the rules they want, but the bottom line is they can’t even keep there own back yard clean and they want to try to keep ours clean. I own a small maintenance shop and I go out of my way to keep my customers happy and secure with leaving there aircraft in my care. You can put up all the fences and require all the ID badges in the world and still not solve the real problem. The TSA and other goverment organizations need resolve the real problem, and not allow the undersirable people in this country. If this problem was resolved we would not need all the other BS. It is very scary to know that the people in charge of our security in this country are so incompetent. When are they ( our government ) going wake up and relize they are a very big part of the problem. The working American tax payer is taking it in the shorts again by paying the wages of a bunch of government employes that can’t spell there own names much less keep our country secure. VERY SAD.
