Sounds good to me. I don't see why that isn't a good idea, too.
As a small-plane pilot, I want to know (he says sarcastically) why
there was such a big deal about little-bitty planes for a month
after 9/11, but there *wasn't* a big deal about renting trucks after
either the WTC truck bomb or OKC. I mean I was *not* allowed to
hop in a plane and exercise my authority to fly an airplane for *weeks*,
but right after either truck bomb, any yahoo with a driver's license
could still rent a truck. Not even restricted for one day.
If all pilots are suspect, why aren't all truck renters?
