Ban homebuilts and Cessna 150's??? What is he thinking? Isn't he concerned

about aviation safety? This makes no sense at all. Did Mr. Walker learn 
NOTHING from 9/11? How could he be so unaware? Isn't the danger presented 
by large trans****t aircraft painfully clear? Does he have any concern for 
public safety at all?

Yes, small aircraft are sometimes involved in accidents - but what is the 
outcome? Beyond the occupants, it exceedingly rare to involve any innocent

bystanders at all. But what happens when one of the flying WMDs comes down

in a populated area? THOUSANDS DEAD!!!
Can you imagine what would happen if a fully loaded 767 were to experience

problems and crash in to a crowded casino - spewing 5,000 gallons of jet 
fuel onto thousands of innocent, unsuspecting people? People that he is 
supposed to be protecting!

How can he, or any of us, live with ourselves knowing that this kind of 
tragedy isn't just possible, but given time, inevitable?

How can he continue to turn a blind eye to this tremendous threat to human

life?

How can we not DEMAND that these large aircraft be banned from flying over

or landing in the vicinity of a populated area? Clearly, at a MINIMUM, any

aircraft with a gross weight over 30,000 pound should absolutely forbidden

to approach within 50 miles of a populated area. And, I suspect, that if 
Mr. Walker were to consider this carefully, he would agree that the only 
way that we can be safe is if large aircraft are banned from the sky 
completely.

We went to war with Iraq over WMDs, why do we ignore the ones flying over 
our heads every day?
