Between the holes in the border and the holes in our security I worry that if they are capable of WMD, we give them the means and opportunity to do it.

Airport Terror Targets?

There are 19,000 general aviation airports in the United States, and most are like Eagle's Nest, with just a single landing strip. There are no fences, no gates, no security systems and no federal requirements to have them.

(CBS) They are a soaring real estate trend: fly-in communities called air parks.

"Every house has a paved taxiway to the runway," says Lesley Hock, an Eagle's Nest Air Park realtor.

Amenities include your very own community airstrip, your own personal hanger and the freedom to come and go as you please.

"There's really no security in regards to living with your airplane," says Hock.

And, as CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr reports, that's the fear. These general aviation airstrips, like the one in Eagle's Nest in western Virginia, are an open invitation for terrorists.

"I think it's a real concern," says airport manager John Trissel. "I think it's a possibility."

Terrorists dance through the leaky border of Canada

You've seen their mugs plastered on TV: Abid Noraiz Ali, 25; Mustafa Khan Owasi, 33; Iftikhar Khozmai Ali, 21; Adil Pervez, 19; and Akbar Jamal, 28.

According to intelligence sources, these five Middle Eastern or South Asian men are illegal aliens who recently snuck into America from Canada. They allegedly are part of a much larger group of invaders wanted by the FBI for for questioning. Law enforcement agencies want the public's help to track them down, but U.S. and Canadian officials are refusing to tell us exactly how and where they might have entered.

Heaven forbid they give us enough specific information to start holding anybody accountable for the continuing infiltration of immigration outlaws into our country.

So how did the Christmas quintet get in? Here's my invasion scenario:

Paper trail of tears

The journey begins in Pakistan, the operations base for an international smuggling ring that exploits one of Canada' s most notoriously insecure documents - the IMM 1000 immigration form. These forms, the Canadian equivalent of U. S. green cards for legal permanent residents, contain no photos. Just the name and age of the holders. The smugglers buy genuine IMM 1000 forms from Pakistani immigrants in Canada, then illegally peddle them in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Using false identities and bogus passports along with their IMM 1000 documents, the invaders board planes in Pakistan, transit through Dubai, travel through Britain or another European country and touch down at a Canadian airport of entry in Montreal, Vancouver or at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~continued at link
