It's easy to criticize afterwards because we now know the exact
circumstances. But during the situation, could they tell from radar
that it was a C150, carrying two adults, full fuel, and no explosives?

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!

Actually, he's right. He said "small aircraft of this size". He didn't
say the C150. The Cessna Turbo Stationair can carry 1338 lbs of useful
load.
