It remains to be seen exactly what impact Thursday’s intentional crash of a single-engine Piper Dakota into an Austin, Texas IRS building will have on any new general aviation security restrictions. However, industry leaders are cautioning against overreaction.
“It is important in the days ahead that we not overreact to this isolated act of suicide by a deeply troubled person and jeopardize the ability of hundreds of thousands of law-abiding U.S. citizens to fly,” said Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association president Craig Fuller. “We need to let the accident and law enforcement investigations proceed and not rush to ill-informed judgments or precipitous actions.”
