Private Planes: Freedom, Security, and Responsibility

They may have trained at flight schools in the USA, but did
they learn how to do it here? Are the restrictions
effective? On the same line of reasoning...
The shoe bomber was trying to use matches to light a fuse in
his shoes...When was the last time you heard about a
terrorist bomber who did not have a 9 volt battery and a
switch to set their bomb off? The shoe bomber was not
intended to blow up the airplane, his task was to yank out
chain and make us take our shoes off.
