As I said in my original post "I know, I know - there are plenty of
equivalent threats that are not monitored (I liked the post about
trucks/OKC). I just don't like to take the stance that GA is no threat -
what happens after some incident occurs? Does GA become shut down?"

I'm not supporting CBS in anyway, and I do believe GA gets a lot of this
kind of publicity, as is often stated on this forum, because we are a

small
"elite" minority. OTOH, I don't think the fear, rational or irrational,

is
based on the Tampa scenario. It is based on loading up a small twin, or

a
heavy single with explosives and following that with some suicide

activity.
I don't know anything about explosives, but I suspect that the 900+

useful
load in a 182 could carry enough explosives to be pretty brutal in a

crowded
place.


You could carry a lot more explosives in a 3/4 ton pickup or a 12 foot
U-Haul or fake UPS truck.

You know that, I know that, and the rest of the people here know that --
these mental midgets don't (seem to) know it and the audience doesn't
(apparently) seem able to figure that out.
