DHS Increases Security for General Aviation
by JJ Cassa - November 20th, 2008
It was announced recently that the Department of Homeland Security is intent on increasing the security of General Aviation based on an article from ABC News. According to the article, all general aviation aircraft departing to or arriving from international destinations will need to submit manifest data on all passengers and crew 60 minutes prior to departure.
If the DHS gets it’s way, this is the first of many “enhancements” that they will make to security for GA. This is an issue that deserves our full attention as aviation enthusiasts as it could harm the industry and activity that we hold so dear.
