Why? Why is it necessary to use this forum to discuss alternatives that terrorist can use to destroy what they will? Doesn't the news folks do a good enough job of telling these individuals our weaknesses? Aren't there enough people already making enough suggestions? I really haven't seen that many totally original ideas WRT terrorist methods here. Let's face it, most of the ideas are depressingly obvious anyway. Heck, Hollywood has already covered a lot of the ideas in far more detail than this newsgroup is ever going to... Brian. I'm sorry. I'm just getting really tired of turning on TV or the radio and the first item in the news is a story for the terrorist on how they might consider an attack. And now, "we" are going to take it a step further with more ideas. Why? I wonder how many terrorist read this and other "informative" newsgroups and listen to CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN, etc.....??? Harry PP-ASEL "Rosspilot" wrote in message ... http://www.strategypage.com/fyeo/qnd...get=URBANG.HTM excerpt: While passenger aircraft are now pretty secure, the same is not the case for commercial freighters and private aircraft. It is quite possible that a smaller aircraft, or long range transports from foreign nations, could be used for suicide attacks. This scenario has terrorists renting a small two engine aircraft (like the Piper Aztec or Cessna Businessliner) and flying off to any target within several hundred miles. These aircraft rent for about $250 an hour (with a 3-4 hour minimum). They have a cargo capacity of about half a ton, and that could be filled with explosives. This would give the terrorists the equivalent of an American cruise missile (which has a one ton warhead.) These aircraft have a maximum take off weight of about three tons and only carry about 500 pounds of fuel. Probably would not bring down a large skyscraper, but would do a lot of damage to the White House or most other government buildings in Washington. You can buy these aircraft second hand for $200-300,000. I hate stuff like this, but I think it's better to toss it out there and shine light on it than stick my head in the sand and pretend it isn't there. www.Rosspilot.com |
