Here is the CBS correspondent's reply to pilots' critcism, as

especially like the line about diverting our energies to finding a
solution!)

But, I would maintain, now is the time to have an honest
discussion about reasonable steps to make GA uniformly safer and
more secure. I don't think any of us want to wait until after
something happens. I'm not predicting an attack involving GA
aircraft, and in fact, I pray that never occurs. But, that doesn't
mean we should completely disregard any terror possibility no
matter how small it might be or how irritating the report is to any
particular sector, group, or association.


Until I see a piece designed to open "an honest discussion about reasonable
steps" to address the fact that we still relay on "VOLUNTARY measures" to
secure our cities from vulnerabilities to car/truck delivered explosives
and/or chem-bio weapons I will continue to hold my opinion that Orr's story
was NOT up to any sort of journalistic standards.

If Mr. Orr is so worried about an attack he'd better get on this right away
as this is a far more likely scenario and I'm sure he would not want to
"disregard any terror possibility no matter how small it might be or how
irritating the report is to any particular sector, group, or association".
