If you aren't already a bit worried about the powers of the DHS and  
the TSA, may I suggest that you read the below referenced story.  As I  
see it, an agency truly run amok.

TSA seeks inspection authority for aircraft-repair shops
The Transportation Security Administration on Monday sought regulatory  
authority over airplane-repair shops, arguing that terrorists could  
use the facilities to sabotage planes undergoing maintenance. There  
are nearly 5,000 approved repair shops around the world, where work  
can range from mending upholstery to overhauling engines. TSA is  
especially concerned with shops on or near airport property, where  
terrorists could potentially take control of an aircraft for use as a  
weapon. Critics of the proposed policy note that all shops working on  
U.S.-based planes already are subject to FAA licensing and inspection.
