I think that the chances of a glider being used for terrorist activity

It probably would take most people 3-5 years to be capable of flying any
reasonnable distance cross-country etc etc.

However the Aviation Industries of Iran information looks interesting,
as it suggests active two seater gliding in Iran.
This might be a possible area for opportunities for cross-cultural
gliding exchanges. If those going to Iran had the blessing and
protection
of the Iranian authorities then it would be a wonderful opportunity to
fly in probably a superb gliding area.

Maybe Competition Enterprise ??

I wish I could agree with you but a glider with ballast tanks could
hold an awful lot of liquid explosive and that was the lastest kind
that was suspected in the latest sitiuation over the Atlantic.
