From the preface:

In the past few years, the current status and future vision of the US air transportation system have been examined in numerous studies. ... What is needed now is vigorous action to refine and achieve the broadly held future vision of an air transportation system ... Achieving this vision will not be easy.

This committee concluded that US visions and goals consistently overlook several key items:
· a clear set of guiding principles;
· a description of the overall process for developing and achieving a widely endorsed long-term vision for the air transportation system;
· a strategy for overcoming transitional issues;
· consumer satisfaction;
· primacy of the US aeronautics industry.

Why settle for TCP Wrappers when you can rewrite the whole kernel?
