Just how long does it take to track down the pilot and the plane in this caper? Checking the airports, big and small, for records, logs and takeoffs is no big deal and should have been accomplished right off the bat. The pilot should be in custody by now or his mug should be up on every post office bulletin board. On the other hand, if there's no records to be found, then something is screwy, lethal spray or not. I agree that some politicians, bureaucrats and the media are creating panic and paranoia in the public with their own exaggerated sense of caution and/or plain stupidity.

Perhaps the question can a farmer have a cropduster in an outbuilding and would he necessarily file a flight plan just to go over his own property. I thought all cropdusters were grounded or did they lift that? Otherwise, I don't understand why it's taking so long to find the plane.
