As for explosives, the limited payload of GA aircraft tends to
counter it's advantages over a garden variety, fertilzer truck bomb.
With a big truck bomb, you can blow up a building, even if you can't
get right next to it. You'll never be able to do that much damage in
an explosive laden light single. Even if you fly it right into the
building.

Kinda like the kid who flew into the bank building down in Florida?
I think it was Florida.
He broke a window.

He wasn't carrying explosives.

I've heard the "small plane carrying big bomb" argument before, and heard
that it would be difficult to arrrange for it to detonate at the right
moment. Are there any explosives experts out there can comment? It shouldn't
be too difficult to get the raw materials; I hear it's being sold on the
street in Iraq. But a detonator that's triggered by the deceleration, or
something?
