Oh my, he is one of those who empty the snack basket because it is "free". :skeptical:

Oh, and he took the free ride, too. "Do as I say, not as I do". How come he's not working as a politician?
 
Starting off with saying that his rich friends don't invite him along often enough. Well gee, I wonder why...
 
Frakking bastich. Icehole. Heaven forbid his twin engined airplane his the CIA headquarters. Might break a window. They're probably expensive.
 
There are two things here that **** me off. First, here's a guy bumming rides with his rich friends on private jets after a tv appearance, and at the same time trying to gin up resentment against people who regularly use GA as 'plutocrats' and rich people who can buy themselves an exemption to the TSA nonsense. This graduate student who saved up for years to get his pilots license and fly in to airports like TEB whenever he can afford to would like to tell Mr. Goldberg.....well, out of respect for the civility of this board, I'll leave that part unsaid. Secondly, is he actually suggesting that expanding the purview of the TSA is going to make us safer? Moron.
 
What an asswipe.

Oh well, I just did.

Here's a bio on the author:

If he and others like him are as successful at making a case to destroy what is left of aviation freedom as they were at convincing everyone that Iraq had WMD and was cozy with Al Qaeda, then we have a problem. Hopefully any credibility he had is now shot. Maybe he should go back to serving lunch to students; a lot more honest work in doing that.

I thought it self-evident that I was providing my opinion, not a logical argument. Since I was mistaken in that belief, let me now state:

In my very humble opinion.
