Public meeting on TSA's Large Aircraft Security Program
In response to a request from AOPA, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will be hosting a public hearing on Friday, Jan. 16, at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel, 5440 North River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018. Please attend and make your voice heard! It is important that the TSA hears from pilots that its proposed Large Aircraft Security Program raises serious concerns across the general aviation community.
AOPA bolsters advocacy presence in D.C.
With a new administration getting ready to take office, AOPA is seizing a key opportunity to educate new White House staff and cabinet members, as well as members of Congress and their staff, about the value of general aviation. So, the association is creating a powerhouse in its Washington, D.C., lobbying office—starting with Lorraine C. Howerton, AOPA's new vice president of legislative affairs.
'Safe skies, good neighbors' key to North Las Vegas airport
After two fatal accidents in August 2008 near Nevada's North Las Vegas airport, AOPA, the AOPA Air Safety Foundation, and the local general aviation community came together to address local concerns about aviation safety. That effort is continuing with a special seminar, 'Safe Skies, Good Neighbors.'

Pilots speak out against Large Aircraft Security Program
If the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) had any illusions about how strongly the aviation community feels about their proposed Large Aircraft Security Program ( http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/gasecurity/ ), those illusions were dispelled nearly half an hour before a Jan. 6 public hearing--the first of five--ever began.
