Here we go again. Let’s just overreact and stir panic, in order to exert a little more unnecessary governmental authority. Small aircraft are NOT a decent weapon platform.

[GeronL]

right on.

[Oiao]

No need to overreact here. Just use ‘PROFILING’ and most of this problem will be solved.

Darn, I forgot, that is not the liberal progressive PC way, to use common sense and PROFILE.

Shame on me.

"Small aircraft are NOT a decent weapon platform."

They'd carry a dirty bomb just fine.

Maybe, just maybe, we should be careful about YOUNG MUSLIM MEN flying airplanes...not the planes themselves.

I am amazed how the obvious answer seems to elude liberals.

The problem isn’t the planes, it is the terrorists.

[Palter]

Sure. Its not a viable platform. There are more able methods. Simply having a gun and shooting a person is more productive.

But the plane 'threat' has always been there.

I guess the Japanese didn't get that memo.

A crop duster or two, their spray tanks filled with gasoline, would kill a hell of a lot of people if they were crashed into a stadium full of people.

You should check this out and then tell me if even slightly sophisticated terrorists could find a way to arm “small planes” with all kinds of explosives and biological / chemical agents.
