I personally suspect the major reason cessnas like this NOT being shot
down is the obvious damage of falling debris, plus they would probally
figgure that even a plane loaded with explosives would do more damage
if shot than not. Then there is the possibility the rocket would miss
and hit the ground (bullets would be even worse - I think the rockets
can at least be programmed to explode only on the target, not the ground).
Fighter aircraft, bullets and rockets were never designed to do
low damage battle over the capitol.


Then there is the obvious possibility that you wouls simply shoot two
innocent American citizens out of the sky. I'm guessing both these
ninnies voted for Bush, and it would have been a shame to incinerate
two guys who supported his presidency.
