I know many have forgotten or may not know of this, but a GA plane
has been used for unethical purposes.
Shortly after 9/11 a young kid thought he would make his mark on
history by slamming his plane (Cessna 152 I believe) into a building
in downtown Tampa. The plane was totally destroyed and the building
only had a broken window or something that minor.

Actually that is not surprising considering that a C-152 has a maximum
take-off weight of only 1670 pounds.
Granted, a C-152 can move twice as fast as let's say a simple SUV, thereby
having a more severe impact than the SUV. But any SUV is twice as heavy.
Now, how often did you see a building crumble when it was hit by an SUV?

In other words: GA aircraft are not a very efficient tool to carry out a
terrorist attack. Any heavy-duty pickup-truck or even better a commercial
truck or semi (even without any explosives) driven into a crowd or a
building will do much more damage.
