You actually
believe that? That someone intent on mayhem would decide not to becuse "it's too hard"?
How childishly naive.

Is
your moral responsibility actually comparable to a five-year old's? That's what you just said..."adults act the same way". Why the last minute rhetorical bait-and-switch?
Uh...you *are* an adult, arent you? Your apparent naïveté makes me wonder.

No, it would have happened. But it would have happened differently. In fact it almost
did happen differently in 1993....1,500 pounds of fertilizer and fuel oil in a rental truck. Not particularly convenient. And dying in a hijacked plane would strike me as the ultimate inconvenience.
