I never thought of that, but wouldn't the TSA have authority over GA as well?

- draebek 16y agoI was once shuttled to a business meeting in a small plane (maybe six to eight seats). I had no idea what to expect, showing up for my small flight. I parked at the airport, walked down to the runway where I met the pilot. I said, "is there a security screening? I've got a knife [about 3.5in blade, in my pocket]. I've also got this big thing of water." Pilot said, "that's nice, hop on in the plane. Need anything else?" I even got to listen to my MP3 player during take off. Assuming that what I flew was "GA," then no, it doesn't seem like the TSA applies there. As for how you get these sorts of flights and how much they cost, I can't help. I was just the passenger, and haven't done it since.

As part of these efforts, TSA has recently launched the General Aviation Secure Program. This program is designed to build upon the Airport Watch program, encouraging everyone to be vigilant about general aviation security and report any unusual activities to TSA."""
