What types of security measures take place at general aviation airports?

The security measures imposed at general aviation airports are significantly different to the security measures at commercial airports. First, you need to realize there are about 19 general aviation airports in this country and that can be anything from a very common general aviation airport with charter flights to a dirt strip in the middle of the country for crop dusting. They're all considered general aviation airports. It's a very close-knit community, so we, the TSA, work with the aircraft owners and operators associations to provide them with intelligence, guidance and assistance in what can be done regarding security measures and what should be done at those airports, but we don't technically have a physical screening element at those airports.
