His assertion that GA aircraft have never been used in a terrorist

attack
is
flawed logic.


I know many have forgotten or may not know of this, but a GA plane has

been
used for unethical purposes.
Shortly after 9/11 a young kid thought he would make his mark on history

by
slamming his plane (Cessna 152 I believe) into a building in downtown

Tampa.
The plane was totally destroyed and the building only had a broken window

or
something that minor.
I leave you with a ABC news web link for you to decide if Charles Bishop
was a domestic terrorist the likes of Timothy McVey.


Lets not forget the incident in Milan last year.

Alhtough not a terrorist attack it provides a clue as to the potential of GA
aircraft used for terrorism. If it had occurred during working hours then
the death toll probably would have been higher.
