1. Cash Making Opportunities – The Beginning The working life is already tough enough, but the worries of being out of work was even tougher. The unsecured working environment have prompted me to search the internet for an alternative source of extra income so that I could learn how to Make Money Work for me and be Financially Independent. I listed down a number of Free Internet Business Opportunity Ideas while researching ways how people earn money online while working-from-home…….

“I have your messages and have passed along to the people in AOPA who deal with these things. As it has been explained to me in the past, DHS and TSA are NOT concerned with inconveniencing citizens – even non-threatening ones.
Their focus is exclusively on keeping the bad guys at bay. It probably will take an act of congress to loosen this up and most in congress are very careful not to look like they’re soft on security risk.

Bruce, this is indeed the problem. And the solution. The question is, how do we convince Congress to act? “Soft on security risk” is one thing. Converting the USA into the USSA is quite another.

I have to take issue with Bruce’s experience. I fly to Canada 4-5 times a year. I did all the apis stuff for my last trip. Also note if you are REGISTERED with CanPass they will normally give you a number BEFORE you leave the states and tell you “if no one is there to greet you, you may continue on”. I have been using CanPass since it’s inception with no trouble and have yet to even see a customs agent in Canada using the proper procedures.
However, apis is a different story. After the unbelievably cumbersome and un-intuitive forms the government has made were filled for outbound and inbound flights, I arrived in Albany, NY and was greeted by customs agents who promptly asked for all the same information that was on my apis form in the first place! Then , in turn, they wanted my airworthyness certificate and my registration! I asked what the point of asking for all that information was and got a curt reply that they needed to “verify”.

I have, for two years, wanted to fly to Canada with my wife. However, the reports I have heard, warning of the investment of time, the paperwork (electronic or otherwise), and the risk of getting “cross threaded” with CBP or the FAA have kept me from making the trips.

So I have traveled to Canada by car, and motorcycle, enjoyed Pelee Island– but not by flying.

The reality is that CBP does what they do to GA because they can. The southern border is another matter, and there it is also much easier to walk into the US, illegally, than it is to fly in — legally. Our government is not working for us; we are working for them.

I am discouraged by reading all the problems folks are having with border crossings. Years ago I flew to Canada and the Bahamas with just filing out a simple form and typically very pleasant agents to work with. Reading what has transpired in the last few years, I am sad to say I will probably NEVER fly my light aircraft into Canada or the Bahamas again. A sad statement on the sacrafice of our liberties in the pursuit of safety. If only our government would not take knee jerk reactions and think through what they propose, we’d all be a lot better off.
