The Al Qaeda are evil, but ingenous. They do, what is not expected.
We have to learn to figure out what that would be for the next time.
Prior to 9-11, nobody would believe that 4 US passenger planes could be hijacked simulatenously and 3 of them actually succeed in being flown into their targets.

Problem One: Gliders are not radar negative. They can be swept and pinged just as easily as any other aircraft.
I would expect them not to carry a transponder though.

Alqaida has no fresh ideas. They read Clancy novels and watch James Bond movies.

Well, the possible countermeasure is to keep a small group of [creative engineering types] to play the enemy part and come up with crazy- and not-so-crazy ideas. For example, there are only so many means of aerial delivery (rocket, plane, helicopter, glider, parachute, free falling object, air balloon/dirigible, kite, bird/bat, ballistic projectile)... It's probably already done, although there may be bureaucratic hiccups.

Prior to 9-11, nobody would believe that 4 US passenger planes could be hijacked simultaneously and 3 of them actually succeed in being flown into their targets.
This is the really sad part, FairOpinion. The vast American public did not have a clue that this was even on the radar screen, so to speak. However, the president between the two Bushes was well aware of Project Bojinka (or however it is spelled) and incorrectly calculated the possibility of something like this happening. Actually, I don't really believe that's what he did (incorrectly calculate) but for some reason I'm feeling charitable tonight.
