What harm can a Cessna 172, being trailed by F16’s, do?
Obviously you did not read the article.
Given that they were ordered to not shoot it down, I suppose a lot of damage. The F16’s wouuld just be forced to watch.
It can cause certain trigger-happy FReepers to injure themselves through excessive conniptions. Is that not enough reason to blow the plane out of the sky?
lets see a cessna 172 with say 100 lbs of improvised explosives or even stolen industrial explosives flown into a shopping mall or school won’t do much damage . Hell you don’t even need the explosives just several 5 gallon cans of gasoline & full fuel tanks . to give you a serious nightmare.

I wonder how many intersections (major transformer farms) of our power grid he flew over while they trailed him. It doesn’t have to be a major city to make a terrorist attack effective. Does NORAD have the grids on its maps?
