Hey, why isn't this an act of domestic terrorism.? The endangerment of an aircraft full of people would seem to me to be pretty terroristic. Of course he could say he didn't really mean it, but they would be just as dead as if he did mean it, had the aircraft crashed.
I think this has something to do also with the fact that commercial airlines are interstate carriers and under federal law.
But then, I'm no lawyer. I'll have to ask my son, who is a lawyer and KNOWS IT ALL. Just ask him.

Sure. that sounds plausible.
So before te Patriot Act was passed he wouldn't have been charged? Of coures he would have, but under what statutes?
