Emergent Chaos

Each aircraft operation ... with a MTOW of more than 12,500 pounds, must conduct a search of the aircraft before departure and screen passengers, crew members and other persons, and all accessible property before boarding in accordance with security standards and procedures approved by TSA.

...

[Seperately, charter aircraft run as clubs...] These clubs transport members and their baggage all over the world without the security measures required by TSA. Given this period of heightened security concern, it is critical that such operations are in compliance with TSA's security procedures and requirements.

Indeed they do. And their planes haven't been involved in terror incidents because small aircraft are simply not that interesting as terror weapons. (In comparison to say, a truck loaded with fertilizer and fuel oil.) The TSA apparently feels the bureaucrat's intense need to regulate, and look! there's a whole space where liberty isn't being infringed!

I'm not sure how large a 12,500 lb aircraft is ... anyone? It seems that the second measure applies to companies like netjet and aircraft shares, which have soared in popularity because of the speed and efficiency with which they operate.
