That was exactly my point. If some terrorist wants to hijack a flight from
Cuba to deliver some terrorist act to Miami, there isn't much the FAA is
going to be able to do about it.

Or, to use a more realistic example, if some terrorist decides to hijack a
plane out of Toronto and fly it into Niagra Falls, it's just plain out of
the FAA and TSA's hands. And their new "security measures" will provide
absolutely no assistance.

Not hardly! Last time I looked, neither the TSA nor the FAA had any say
at all in what goes on with Cuban aircraft.

To a pilot, altitude is like money - it is possible that having
too much could prove embarassing, but having too little is always
fatal.
