(C-182 stuffed with explosives + joint session of congress) * suicidal
islamist = no general aviation ever again.
^speculation^


Reality based on empirical evidence(Warning: Remedial Math follows):

Rental trucks stuffed with explosives*terrorists of various religious &
political persuasions across multiple administrations=hundreds of
deaths+$millions damage+no action whatsoever to limit access to rental
trucks

Airliners stuffed with incendiaries+big buildings*suicidal
islamist=almost instant return of airline flying-months of grounded
general aviation

Multiple intelligence sources+daily satellite data+daily
overflights+inspectors telling our government's star chamber that Iraq
had no nukes, no chemicals, no bioweapons+decimated Iraqi industrial
base after GulfWar I=the star chamber telling us and congress that Iraq
is a threat+invading the country+guarding the oil ministry building
while weapons caches are emptied by 'insurgents' who later are using
them to kill the soldiers who were ordered to guard the oil
ministry+allowing the heroin industry to restart in Afghanistan+breeding
thousands more terrorists by ordering the torture of non-combatant
prisoners+bleeding the treasury & my retirement dry with huge deficits &
tax cuts for billionaires

Tell me again why I should give up my rights & freedoms & trust my
government to protect me....
