This = reality.

Of course building in a remote-control mechanism opens as many opportunities for terrorism as it closes.

Seeking logical reasoning 1) Tom Clancy flys a jumbo jet into a major American landmark = fiction.
Terrorists fly three commerical airliners into major American landmarks = reality.

Good fiction today is reality tomorrow.


Seeking logical reasoning 2) Remote control security cannot work? Oh well. Remove jailhouse security because mechanisms open as many opportunities as they close?
