I've always said the next jet attack like 9/11 would be with cargo planes.

While we're walking around barefoot in long lines in the passenger terminal with the National Guard patrolling with unloaded M16s and arresting grandmothers with knitting needles, Al Queda will pass right by a sleeping unarmed guard in their stolen FedEx van headed for the undefended FedEx jets.

Actually, my biggest worry is al-Qaeda figuring out how to load a fast-moving Cigarette high-speed pleasure boat with a couple of hundred pounds of home-made plastique explosives and ramming it into a cruise ship. Given the large Muslim community in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area and the fact that Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach have the highest concentration of cruise ships anywhere in the world, the prospect of a pleasure craft loaded with explosive ramming into a large cruise ship is very real indeed. Such an impact would have the equivalent of a US Navy Mark 48 torpedo impact, which could cause many casualties and seriously damage the cruise ship (it could actually sink a smaller cruise ship).
