Crop dusters are so hard to track flying at tree and weed top level that in communist countries they had to be kept in high security fenced in compounds. The pilots were able to easily fly right over the iron curtain boundaries undetected.

My point is, if a terrorist who is a good pilot gets hold of a crop duster, he can fly low and slow right into any city, then pop up to the correct altitude to spray his deadly load and FAA regs be damned.

And there are those freepers who call us "hysterics and bigots" for being a bit suspicious of the arab moslem covert jihadists living freely among us planning mega murder.

I think you're on to something.

i thought DIAPERHEADS is the up and coming catchword

[ValerieUSA]

A couple of the Arabic men who were traveling on a plane and were stopped by fellow passengers who refused to fly with them were pilots. Were they perhaps on their way to readied cropdusters to wage their special warfare? Their destination was Salt Lake City.... Also, there were some men stopped on their way to San Antonio....

[FITZ]

The politically correct will not like to see Arab nationals discriminated against when they go to rent a crop duster plane or buy dangerous chemicals. We can't have racial profiling, can't say anyone is guilty until after they kill thousands of Americans. If you won't sell chemicals to an Arab you must be a racist bigot is all.

[Lent]

Sheesh. This is terrible. Hell is going to be unleashed on the heads of the unsuspecting culturally sensitive masses.

[piasa]

Who says it just has to be a city? What if it was flown against stockyards or other agricultural targets? That would impact us economically.

I think what you are seeing is concern from some (like me!) that we are on a slippery slope of resenting or hating Muslims as a people when far less than 1% of Muslims in this country would ever even condone such activities let alone engage in them.

It is ironic especially since the GOP has traditionally been big supporters of Israeli defense yet Jewish voters vote overwhelmingly for liberal Democrats while Arab Americans are by and large GOP voters.

I know you know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys and most here do. But we have to be careful that we don't let the fact that all the people involved in the attack Israel and attack America network are Middle Easterners because like was the case with Germany there will come a time when we have defeated the true evil network and find that most of the civilians in their sphere of influence loathe these extremists and their militant tactics to undermine moderate and legitimate Arab nations and destroy as many Western institutions and lives as they can.

[Dog Gone]

I was talking about this very thing last night with a friend. I speculated that such an attack may already be in place, waiting only for our first strike at a Moslem country.

While everybody is focusing on American Airlines, the real threat may be Bob's Flying Service.

I don't know what you do about it. If they can hijack an airliner, Bob won't be much problem at all.

[TKEman]

We need to tighten up security. I'm starting to be radicalized by this all.

Ultar Lights or what ever you call those tiny individual "Planes"?

HYBRIDON antisense from Boston?

[okie_tech]

Don't forget that the best way to develop bio-warfare capabilities is right here in a good ole US-of-A college microbiology lab, and don't forget that all these terrorists have been students so far.

Travis as you are well aware there are crop dusting planes based on small fields and in many cases on farms in the United states.

The fly well below radar. Many take off and land on private grass strips. There is no way the air traffic control system could even see them. They don't even know where they are.

They all fly VFR (visual flight rules) and there are zero records as where they are at the moment. We grounded them, then let them resume flying. I think there is a reason.

You will notice that Bush, Powel,and Rumsfeld have not ruled out nuclear weapons. I think there is a strong possibility that Bush has notified all nations that if we are hit with biological weapons we will counter attack with both biological and nuclear weapons.

I suspect they have been told that all people in and around a nation that fostered the people or allowed such an attack to occur would die. They would get insant creametorium.

I think we gounded the planes until all nations were notified. I have litle doubt that Bush sent such messages and that the Arabs are certain that he would do it.

And with ever increasing frequency, they have been told to eff off. More and more, people are refusing to bow at their PC altar.

Too bad. There is no constitutional right not to have your feelings hurt.

[Neophyte]

To your #7: I can easily imagine covered jihadists among the American Muslim population... but it's white haters of the Western values, the Leftist fellow-travellers of the terrorists who're of much bigger concern. They live in the community, they're not under serious suspicion, and they're eager to destroy the society they hate.

Any freeper that calls another freeper a bigot for being suspicious of Arabs in general is a true idiot. If what I have seen on TV is any indication, most Arabs here think what happened on 9/11 is something we had coming. I wonder what the appeasers' reaction would be if their neighborhood was blown up. Some people have problems with enemy recognition and are naive enough to think that as soon as a foreigner lands on American soil they start becoming Americanized. Those days are long gone.

"My point is, if a terrorist who is a good pilot..."

You can stop right there. I'm suddenly not too worried.

[jeremiah]

Seal the borders, send home any illegals, and possible non-friendlies. I know we didn't kick out of the country the Americans of German heritage, during WW II, but I bet they sent home others that didn't ask for asylum, or were going to school or vacationing. Someone wrote that Bin Ladens family is living in the NE. If they are not citizens, they should be expelled. This war is more serious than any other we have fought, because we are allowing the enemy bases within our borders.

[harpseal]

Helicopters can also be outfitted to spray chemicals and have done so in many areas.

Absolutely every potential mass killing weapon needs security. A car or truck hitting the right tank at a chemical plant can cause mass casualties. People need to also remeber Bhophal, Indis (SP?)
