I 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.
