The whole thing seems incredibly dangerous to me. What if they start

of
theirs, small planes are dangerous, etc etc etc...

I would destroy an airplane before letting a terrorist have it. If I
crashed
under such circumstances it would be deliberate. I would attempt to make
sure that ATC knew what was going on and I might attempt to make the
crash
survivable, but those would be secondary priorities. There being no way
to
tell the difference between reporters acting like terrorists and
terrorists
claiming to be reporters, I would assume that they might say anything or
produce any kind of supposed documentation if their lives were
threatened.
Kill them first, I say, and let NBC explain things later if turns out
their
guys were real.


I would say a reporter ACTING like a terrorist IS a terrorist and should
be
dealt with accordingly. At some point it is to late to say "Uh, just
kidding".

Much like committing an armed robbery with a fake or unloaded weapon is "no
excuse".

In the South you could just say "They needed killin'!".
