Believe me, I more then get the point... You apparently think you're the Dan=
=20
Rather of monitoring and you're obviously willing to potentially punish=20
everybody else in the hobby to maintain that self-appointed role. You think=20
this is "news"? You're kidding, right? Since when is what a military pilot=20
says on a squadron tac considered public "news"? Since you're going to stoop=
=20
to name calling, I guess I will too... I'd rather be considered a tight ass=20
then a whiny little snitch any day. Anybody that thinks stuff like this can'=
t=20
effect the hobby adversely is kidding themselves. Why would a pilot want to=20
have anything to do with a bunch of people that are lurking in the shadows=20
waiting to snitch them out the second they say something a little risky... I=
=20
sure as hell wouldn't want to have anything to do with people like that, and=
=20
if I saw one at a show, I'd walk the other direction. Is that the image=20
people in the hobby want to have? I suppose a month or so from now people=20
that think this is OK will be whining about how the military doesn't like=20
scanners at shows, or how somebody got hassled listening near a base... Gee,=
=20
I can't imagine why the military would do that... Just because we're going t=
o=20
rat them out to the whole world on the Internet the second they say somethin=
g=20
we don't like... Why wouldn't they just invite us right in?

Hopefully the Thunderbirds won't say anything you don't like... Of course we=
=20
all know they shouldn't be allowed to talk to each other ever, without=20
worrying about somebody snitching on them every time they key up the mic.
