Pick a mission/objective that you think
a small aircraft could accomplish, and I'll find a cheaper, faster,
easier way to accomplish the same objective without using a small
aircraft, with the added bonus that the terrorist would likely survive
to attempt more evil.


How about this one offered by The Center for Strategic and
International Studies:

Anderson said terrorists could load a plane with explosives, add
shrapnel and possibly chemical or biological materials, and then
detonate a bomb inside a stadium.

(Keep in mind the fact that a reported 250 pound car bomb was adequate
to blow off the front of a building and kill many people in Iraq
recently.)


This idea emerged in the Thomas Harris book (and movie with Robert Shaw and
Bruce Dern) "Black Sunday" . . . from early 70s . . . an Arab terrorist plot to
blow up a special bomb suspended beneath the Goodyear Blimp at the Superbowl.
Great book and movie.
