Business aviation industry challenges proposed TSA rules
About 100 private plane owners are expected to gather at the Westchester County Airport in New York today as the Department of Homeland Security opens a series of public meetings on new rules requiring stepped-up security measures for general aviation. About 10,000 aircraft would be affected by the rules, which include limitations on cargo and fingerprint checks for pilots. "Businesses have airplanes in order to transport what they produce, sometimes because it's too difficult or impossible to carry onto an airliner," says Ed Bolen, president of the National Business Aviation Association. "To suggest that an airplane weighing 12,500 pounds is similar to a commercial transport airplane doesn't hold water."

Martin Luther King's conservative legacy

IT IS TIME for conservatives to lay claim to the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. King was no stalwart conservative, yet his core beliefs, such as the power and necessity of faith-based association and self-government based on absolute truth and moral law, are profoundly conservative. Modern liberalism rejects these ideas, while conservatives place them at the center of their philosophy. Despite decades of its appropriation by liberals, King's message was fundamentally conservative
