Attempting to disable aircraft which carry our precious military sons and daughters should carry the death penalty whether we are technically at war or not.
It's the only punishment which will act as a deterrent except among virgin-seeking radical Muslims saboteurs.

I respectfully disagree. Technically, we’re in a state of declared war. It’s the purists that won’t accept this technicality on account of not having a fancy piece of paper with strong wording and lots of curlicues.
If anything, what we are seeing is part of a trade war. See my previous post. I really hope it’s wrong, but the timing...
Don't know about wartime sabotage laws, but the Constitutional definition of treason does not depend on the nation being formally at war, only that it has enemies, and that someone gives them aid or comfort to those enemies, or making war upon the United States. Lord knows we have enemies, many right here at home, and sabotaging military equipment would certainly give them aide, and could easily be construed as making war.
The penalty for treason is death.
