There was that one jackass that flew his cessna (I don't know
what model) into the side of the White House. I'm certain he
was violating restricted airspace.

The other question is: If you were to take a 150, load it up with
fuel, misc minor equipment, how much explosive could you get on there?

I guess it would be in the neighborhood of 250 pounds or so, which is
enough to make me nervous.

Then consider this: How much poison gas or biological poison could you
load
into a Cessna?

See, if you fill it with explosive, and they shoot you down, you explode
harmlessly in the air. If you fill it with CBW agents, and they shoot you
down, they do your job for you by spreading the agents all over the place.
So
whether they shoot you down or not, you accomplish your mission. And you
can
be over your target much faster than they can scramble to shoot you down.

There's no way to prevent this, short of preventing aircraft from taking
off
in the first place.

However, it's just as easy to do this with a vehicle, and since vehicles
already have practically unrestricted access to all the juicy targets,
along
with more capacity and less surveillance, why bother with an aircraft?



Yeah, just last week Lowe's was giving away 50 lb. bags of anthrax when you
bought a new dusing attachment for any popular Cessan or Piper model.
