I just saw an item on the morning news regarding a "new" report from some
federal agency. The news reporters, with their usual knowledgeable
brilliance, were saying that now that the airlines and major airports are
secure, terrorists are looking at general aviation aircraft and
helicopters
to threaten the public.

All the while, the background shots are showing a Tri-pacer and an RV-4
shooting t&g's at Arlington (KAWO). The talking heads didn't really get
specific about the nature of the threat.


Well, as you noted, our local CBS affiliate was pretty hysterical in its
reporting. The actual AP press release attributes all this to "officials."
No names and not even any definite organization that they are working for.

The vast majority of terrorist attacks has been with car bombs, rocket
propelled grenades, and mines. Yet I don't see calls by anonymous
"officials" for metal detectors and explosives sniffers in every garage.

I want these anonymous "officials" who keep saying stuff like this publicly
identified. It is time to pull rank, nametags and badge numbers. I want them
fired.
