Did you hear what they said?

NBC: 1 Cessna + 200 lb of fertelizer = Oklahoma bombing.

Doesn't that estimate overlook 55 gallon drums of diesel fuel?


ABC: 1 small plane + several lb of C4 = Serious destruction

I would imagine several pounds of C4 or any of several other
explosives could be as easily deployed by many many other means as by
light aircraft. What is the principal difference between those other
means and singling out light aircraft?

Wow, serious stuff....

I can't believe the TSA & FBI originated those numbers.

But it seems using a Honda Civic + the same amount of bomb material
will be much easier than using a GA plane.

It smells like the airlines are behind this absurd GA alleged
insecurity pseudo issue. Perhaps it's time for the media to make a
distinction between heavily fuel laden biz-jets and four-place bug
smashes. Otherwise, the media hype' of this issue smacks of fear
mongering.
