What will that achieve? How many terror attacks have there been on board private planes?

> And if you need a background check for a HAM radio license, it makes sense to have a background check for pilot licenses.

An useful background check would be something more akin to a security clearance, not like a HAM radio license.

1. How many successful terror attacks have happened with any plane currently flying? Zero. How many terror attacks have I committed? Zero.

Why do we still check those? Whatever checking private planes would achieve.

Maybe that's nothing, but annoying safety/security measures need to be all or nothing. No exemptions.

2. You didn't understand re: HAM radio, you have to report your felonies for a HAM radio license and that gets reviewed, in USA anyway: http://www.arrl.org/fcc-qualification-question

Regular passenger flights often contain hundreds of random people, private jets don’t. It’s downright idiotic to equate these.

I did understand.
