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.

Another who already did create maximum mayhem crashed his Cessna into a Tampa building. Show me the threat. He took out one office.

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.

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

If you fear one Cessna, then why do you not fear hundreds of trucks? Cessnas can do damage. So can stolen cars. But cars can do more damage. Cessnas have a long history of doing little damage when the pilot intentionally tried to maximize damage. Why do you fear the trivial and not fear what is so routine and so much more hazardous. Why do you keep avoding this question?

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?

Hey Dar - tw asked you a question and he would like you to answer it so he can win this debate.

Welcome to our world, tw. Welcome to our world.

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 guess it depends on the definition of "unchecked". About 4 million enter the US from Mexico and Canada each year, over 10000 per day. I expect hundreds of them are unchecked, if not per day then at least per year.

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?
