EDIT: I confused this attorney with another...thus I will merely make this a rant against his statements in this article alone.....
We need to counter his assertions with facts and close down his emotional rhetoric that does nothing but drive more business his way.

I am sorry....but his "sure they cost money but *something* has to be done" statement is indicative of the mess that the modern litigation system and its "no harm should ever come to anyone at any time" mentality has done.
The "bandit" broke into an airport with locked gate, surveillance equipment, a locked hangar, and a locked airplane to steal the Cessna. Now he squawks about "no one questions you when you taxi an airplane" or that the tower just clears you to take off? So....does someone make sure that the person renting the Ryder truck is who they say they are, does someone question them when they drive near a building full of people?
I do NOT want to see our general aviation airports turned into mini-military camps to assuage the fears of a public that simply has no capability to judge real risk to their lives.
