Hey, didja know that airplanes can't fly if the pilot doesn't have a "license" with his picture and the airplane has a registration?

"AIRPLANES CAN BE REGISTERED BY ANYONE FOR ONLY $5.00!" So raise the fee to $50,000 and that will stop the next Bin Laden?

Ignore that all student pilots are checked by the DHS.
Ignore that there have been 0 foriegn terrorist attacks with planes since 9-11, and the few that happened with single engine planes were piloted by white natural born Americans.

Guess what? You can own and register a car even if you don't have a drivers license!
