This is supposed to make me feel better?

You are expected to put life into perspective. And be decent enough to answer my question the first time. You avoided the question where you would have to admit how trivial this Cessna really is.
Not only are hundreds of trucks crossing the border unchecked. What happens to hijacked and stolen trucks? Every truck is multiple times a greater threat then any Cessna. Therefore anytime a truck is stolen, hijacked, or unchecked, then it also must be a front page news story? The Cessna obviously was a trivial threat - hardly worth mentioning.
How often will extremist hype more "Saddam has WMDs" fears before we finally learn how irresponsible that source is? That Cessna is nothing more than a new twist on a routine security check. But to extremists, it proves that enemies are hiding everywhere to kill us all. At what point are extremist myths finally reduced to minimal credibility?
That Cessna was a near zero threat. Cessnas have a long history of, worst case, destroying an office. Or only putting a potmark on a White House wall. But 18 wheelers can easily destroy whole buildings. Therefore every unaccounted for tractor trailer must be a front page story? Only when wackos are promoting more hype, fear, and hate of mythical enemies.
Dar512 - get a grip. Stop empowering these wackos whose lies even wasted the lives of 4000 good American soldiers due to love of war and for the *glory* of hype, fear, and hate of a mythical enemy. That Cessna was a trivial event. Better described as a comedy where clowns in the audience participate in the joke.
