The Transportation Security Administration is proposing to make ALL planes over 12,500 lbs meet the same security measures imposed on commercial airliners.
This includes propeller driven craft, cargo planes, and medevac flights. Read more about it here.
There's already a coalition of those pilots and operators who will be meeting with Senator Lisa Murkowski on Feb. 20. I noticed this because my boss owns a couple of business-class jets: one for charter, and one for Life Alaska, which does medevacs and donated-organ flights.
I hadn't seen it anywhere else, but thanks to the Alaska Journal of Commerce for pointing out another unfunded mandate that would put many, many small carriers out of business.

Idiots!
You've nailed it, sir. Putting all of the regional air carriers out of work in the name of increased safety is just stupid ... or suicidal.
