Nope it was NBC for sure.

The saddle tank "simulation" was done for Dateline. A show that's
intended to be more entertainment than news.

That one is intended...the others are de facto.

What is the media doing to keep TSA honest? You are not scared nearly
enough.

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

Very true, but you can easily get an airplane inside a stadium or past a
road
block or over a barbed wire fence or to the 30th floor of a building.

The Murrah Building says that's sorta irrelevant.

A semi tractor-trailer could take out the 30th floor by taking our floors 1
thru 29.

sigh It is *much* easier to block a ground vehicle. /sigh


One should neither over nor under estimate a danger.

Exactly -- and what they're doing is failing to think outside the box
(airplane=delivery system)

It would be if you didn't mind paralyzing the city. Even DC is bristling at the
minimal restrictions in place around the White House and the Capitol. People
are just too entrenched in their car to tolerate the same sort of restrictions
heaped on aviation. Politicians are too smart to even try such.

Perhaps around large stadium but what about other soft targets, such as
elementary schools, hospitals, etc? A bomb-laden vehicle would blend right
in.

Which just goes to show that making everything in a country secure is
impossible.
