Bull! Even a C-150 could carry something really bad.
The instructor pilot should never be in command of an airplane again..
So could any car or truck -- and do so more efficiently and surely. You and John Loftus! He was over the top hysterical on the WABC radio John Batchelor radio show on "The Day of the Cessna". Grow up you Beltway whiners! Grow some balls. And grey matter too! Common sense!
Either we have a no fly zone or we don't.
If we do, then it means exactly what it says.
NO FLY

I agree -- something like a dirty nuke, or some kind of biological/chemical material.

Then the author says this:
"The physics of the Cessna 150 make it an improbable terror weapon. Indeed, we have an incident to show us that a Cessna 150 is not much threat to the White House. In 1994, a suicidal nutball tried to kamikaze the steel-and-concrete-reinforced landmark, and left an unsightly black smear on the wall and a divot out of the lawn -- who are we looking out for with all this panic, the groundskeepers?"
Well, hell, what BETTER reason to use this as a weapons carrier then the fact it seems so inappropriate. This guy seems to think the way it will occur will be a huge jetliner with Osama's face on the lower wing surfaces and red arrows pointing to lettering that says "DEATH TO THE BIG SATAN-NUCLEAR BOMB HERE"
If it had been up to me that Cessna would have been nothing but match sticks and melted plastic after it failed to respond to the third radio call. The idiot instructor, who is SUPPOSED to be able to read a chart should have his ticket pulled permanently and be made to pay a HUGE fine.
