As the country song says "This ain't nothing" . In 1977 my Cessna 1976 177rg was on leaseback to an FBO in Tulsa. some characters arrived and said he needed a 135 ride to OKC. No charter pilots were available. A local pilot in the FBO stated that he was checked out in the airplane and would fly it to OKC for them. Several hours later the rental pilot called in from Dallas LOVE to say that the passengers had other business in Texas. By that time the FBO advised the pilot that if he had the airplane key in his pocket he had better run as he did not know for what those characters were wanted. After he hung up he was placed prone on the ramp with the others by the FBI. The "passengers" were Fort Leavenworth escapees trying to go to Mexico.
Remember the bureaucracy and the "punishment of the innocents". The government rarely has the paperwork correct. But in my case the did. Aircraft was returned to RVS; my current craft has the "poor man's lojack" installed.
Whatever your color, if the paperwork is wrong, you will be stopped. As for our TSA, profiling would make a lot more sense than the "electronic strip" searches being forced on random airline passengers.
