I tend to agree with you, assuming insufficient weapons in the hands of the
terrorists, but then this doesn't explain the efforts towards which the TSA
is going in that regard.

However, it does explain why the TSA has expressed concern about cargo
flights. After all, these are just as large and fueled as passenger craft
but w/o a cargo that fights back.

Thinking along those lines: how long from first lesson to "freight dog"?
What's done to secure the cargo handlers? The cargo? I seem to recall
reading that certain shippers could bypass security, and that the threshold
for being one of those shippers wasn't terribly high.
