[FedCom] "On Scene" Barnes MAP/ANGB

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 19:30:36 -0400

Afternoon Gents:
A word of caution from the south.
Two different friends were monitoring at Peachtree-DeKalb & Hartsfield
Int'l. They were approached by the
local airport police unit. They were asked for ID and told that the FAA has
asked that NO ONE monitor aircraft activity at airports. A call to the FAA
PIO stated that there is a NEW provision in the Terriorist Controls to
prohibit monitoring of aircraft AND other critical radio
activities at ALL CONTROLLED airports. I have requested a copy of the
Terriorists Controls from my Congressman for clarification. His Office
Manager in DC returned my call and said the literature was of RESTRICTED
ACCESS and was not available to the
average citizen.
SOOOOO!!!:  It seems the airport law enforcement
personnel have something they can interrrept anyway they want. A word of
caution.
