Pretty good and lucid comments.
I was just kidding but you do hear quite often of crazies trying to obtain weapons like this for whatever cause they have.
The only times you hear of this is when they get arrested always due to dealing with an undercover agent.
I wonder if they ever do get away with it?
And I am sure glad we do not live in a country where just every tom dick or mary could obtain it.Good job PLMerite
“I wonder if they ever do get away with it?”
If so, we probably won’t know about it until it’s too late.
Bad Guys have fired SAMs at aircraft, but it’s always been overseas. Well, maybe always. Fight 800 and some possible “near misses” could be the exceptions. But the FAA and the airlines have a vested interest in our skies being 100% safe or at least maintaing that illusion.
