Really? Friend of yours?
Unless you've known this guy for years or you've done an in-depth background check, you don't know what mayhem this guy is capable of -- and even then you can be mistaken. You're just assuming things based on what he said about himself. Very sloppy reasoning, tw. I admit you can't assume he's a black hat either.

If a Cessna was that danagerous, then shake daily in fear of something that really is dangerous - a highjacked and stolen 18 wheeler. Why not worry about a real threat? Why so much fear of an irrelevant Cessna? Threats from that Cessna can only exist with wacko fears. Fears based in perspective would, instead, worry about real threats such as stolen tractor trailers. Cessna crashed into a building with maximum effect. It destroyed one office. Worry far more about stolen trucks sharing a road with a school bus. If you don't worry about that every day, then logic says that Cessna was a near zero event. Why would one waste so much bandwidth on it? Extremists fear squadrons of Cessnas massing to kill us all. Evil Russians and Chinese conspiring to destroy the electric grid. Then they can blame Pelosi. Worry more about a heart attack. Can we blame that on Obama or McCain? Wackos would. Last edited by tw; 04-09-2009 at 06:44 PM. |

All you can think of to do with a plane is to fly it into a building?

Dar512 - answer the question. If the Cessna is so dangerous, then why is the National Guard not called out when a truck goes missing? Why do you advocate this double standard? |

If there are hundreds of trucks crossing the border unchecked, I think that's worthy of concern. Do you have a cite for this?
Yeah, right. Because you always answer questions that are put to you.

I think this line's mostly filler.

That doesn't even count the trucks that pick up shipping containers from ports, and don't cross the borders themselves.

Here's what I'm hearing: "Don't worry about one little plane getting across the border unchecked. After all, we've got all these trucks coming through unchecked."
This is supposed to make me feel better?
