Term Limits! It has become too lucrative to be a "Representative" of the people. Time to get rid of those who take advantage. Nancy Pelosi, getting rich on Real Estate deals she passed in Congress that benefit her husband, and she has the gall to snipe at Trump for keeping his business interests. These people are sickening, they go in poor as a church mouse, come out richer than everyone and then deride the 1%. Most of the 1% not in Congress at least earned their money!

Unless she's travelling on our dime she should be governed by FAA rules only. I can understand security concerns with public tracking, but if it is required she should comply. Not doing so gives the impression of trying to hide something, which leads to public inquiry and distrust. Without knowing all the regulations, it's hard for me to say whether she's breaking any rules. At face value it gives the appearance of trying to operate below the radar. I understand not wanting her private plane tracked as a MOC due to security, but not as a private citizen. It's similar to the private server and Blackberries used by Clinton. Her supporters might argue privacy and security, while her opponents might argue transparency. I'd argue for compliance with the law, whatever that may be. If that doesn't work for her then she should request a waiver with justification, and comply until any waiver is granted.

I never really understood this problem... You need to travel from point A to point B. When you travel commercially, you can't get any work done (so the argument goes), so you fly private. Then, just tell people you are flying private to get work done! Problem solved... Is it that ingrained in politicians to lie and obfuscate that they do it as a normal course of events?
