Seems to be a little more well written and objective than most articles on
this subject. They mentioned AOPA's Airport Watch program among other
things. They also have a picture of that C-172 hanging from that building in
Florida (it was Florida, right)? Just seems to prove that a light aircraft
can't do much damage to a building.

Their caption was, "The January 2002 theft of a plane from a Florida
airport that resulted in this crash shows how vulnerable such general
aviation airports are to potential terrorist use, the GAO says."

One event. Two outlooks. And since the more alarmist outlook got the
first paragraphs and the above-the-fold picture caption, I'd say it
wasn't all that objective.
