While it does sound funny on paper, it makes very clear sense if you have ever flown over a power plant before 9/11. What the TSA is saying is that they will not put together a list of all the powerplants in the country and their location. They are saying that pilots should be smart enough to know that they are near a nuclear power plant. I agree because first off, everyone knows what a power plant looks likes. Second, they are shown on sectional charts, which every pilot who is flying VFR must have on them.
The AOPA seems to almost always have a problem with something the government has done. They do alot of good things for us pilots, but they do seem to do an awful lot of bitching. But I guess thats what a lobbying group is supposed to do?
