True to the rugged pioneer spirit of our great country, DC cowered for

AOPA Phil Boyer was interviewed on CNN at 1745 EDT. He set the record
straight by stating that a C150, carrying two adults and full fuel has
little to no cargo capacity (polite way of saying no explosives). Boyer
also did say that the two pilots flying the 150 made a stupid mistake
and the security people in Washington acted in accord with proper plans.

This interview was just after some undersecretary for Homeland Security
stated to Wolf Blitzer that a "small aircraft of this size can carry 0ne
or Two THOUSAND pounds of explosives". Talk about your typical
uneducated Washington Bureaucrat!
