What's to prevent a group of jihad psychos from taking off in one of these?

What's to stop a group of jihad psychos from taking off in ANY private jet?

What makes this one so special?

Good question. But I think in a "private" jet, you would know who your fellow passengers are.

On the other hand, if a commercial fleet of Eclipses purports to charter passengers to 10,000 different airports, you have in effect a mini-airline that is competing on the basis of better fares and more selection in airports.

But the security aspect is left unresolved. I wish it were resolved.
