I wonder if there's a correlation between tightened security around
Washington DC and the airplane that crashed into the Pentagon.


A correlation doesn't prove reason.

People can play logical soccer with the issue all they want, but the
airspace is closed, any legitimate pilot in America knows the airspace is
closed, it's damned difficult to get lost in the DC area and fighters were
scrambled to either deter or destroy the aircraft.

As it should be. There's no particular reason at this point to let pilots
run amok over Washington DC.

Why is this as it should be?

And what particular reason is there at this point to let pilots run amok
over Chicago? Or anywhere else?

There's a war going on. Precisely why there's no particular reason to let
illegal immigrants run amok into America.

Some of them are hostile.

The most powerful government in the world--and the one that Americans
consider most important--is not in Chicago.

I didn't realize that "pilots" was synonymous with "illegal immigrant".
I guess I'll have to get a new dictionary.

Single engine pilots are not the enemy. Religious zealots are the enemy.

Aptly put. Too bad most of the real "idiots" (and not the ones who got lost
over DC) on this board won't understand.

illegal immigrants are not really welcome. nowehere.

Some of them are hostile.


yes, but this applies to all groups. _some_ Americans are hostile, _some_
Iraquis are hostil, ... you get the picture.

yes, really sad that we let this happen.

--and the one that Americans
consider most important--is not in Chicago.


every nation sees his government as the most important one. but the
politicans are only human beeings. you make little gods out of your
presidents. I never understood that.

So far, so good.

As it should be. There's no particular reason at this point to let
pilots
run amok over Washington DC.


Sorry, you lose there. Your claim is far from a foregone conclusion.

Peter, there's a war going on.

Despite the 2nd Amendment, we don't let people carry guns and grenades on
airplanes either.

No grenades (I think) but guns are OK....

As for the 'war' going on, 'fraid not....
