I can tell you one thing for sure, and the equation doesn't require a bomb to go off either. You can take it to the bank that the government has considered the sheer propaganda value to the terrorist movement of a single aircraft, GA or otherwise, managing to slip through these restricted areas and crash as a simple suicide into ANY valuable American target. The effect of this happening would be like an adrenalin shot for the terrorist world. The government absolutely can NOT allow this to happen and will most likely take every conceivable precaution to prevent just such an occurrence from taking place. I'm afraid it's not going to be a very "happy time" for General Aviation as these threat options are considered and acted upon. Personally, I think what's out there now is just the tip of a very big "government control"iceberg. Dudley Henriques No, if an aircraft managed to crash in to something, then the folks in gov'ment would spin it into some deranged individual acting alone or similar; they would be absolutely sure to make it a non-terrorist event... In this case the answer would be "yes" wouldn't it? :-) No doubt the government would spin it. In fact, they would do everything in their power to negate the terrorist's mission. Spinning it is just one possible option the government would use to take the sting out of the propaganda value terrorists would most certainly be present if the pilot of such a mission was indeed a terrorist. I honestly believe these last two in that 150 came within a hair's breath of being shot down. The next one to wander into one of these areas might not be so lucky! Dudley Henriques |
