Your Pilot:

Petit_Merdeux: The only aircraft allowed to fly within the restricted area include regularly-scheduled commercial passenger and cargo carriers, police, and military planes supporting the Secret Service.

What kind of planes did they use in the 911 attacks? Small, private planes?

Yeah, but see, now we have the Transportation Security Adminstration to protect us from things happening to the big planes.

I wonder if Al Qaeda has alternate tactics.

Because People in power are Stupid: I wonder if Al Qaeda has alternate tactics.

Apparently Al Qaeda can't get one guy with a USB stick full of porn through customs without farking it up, anymore.

Actually, they *COULD* have, had he been willing to swallow it or stick it up his ass.

Smartest thing to do though is to send him back with *ZERO* incriminating information, and then pass it to him in a secure manner. Have him memorize whatever basic information he needs to get his initial information, then have him pick up his orders, new cipher materials, etc. based on that.

And avoid using electronics to do it. I know they are quick and convenient to use. I use them myself. But from a security standpoint, when you are going up against the big boys (NSA, GCHQ, etc.), you don't have a chance of beating them at their own game.

I think you're missing the point.

Many things are possible if you're competent.

And have enough funding to get on a plane. Taking Bin Laden's money probably did more for security than every TSA goon combined.

VIP gatherings, presidential photo-ops, etc. should be held out in the country where they can't hurt anybody.

The advisory says lesser violations by airmen might result in civil penalties and the suspension of airmen certificates, as well as criminal charges.

If you stray into the no fly zone you might as well ram a building because they'll make you wish you were dead.

Light planes have never been used in a terrorist attack.

Airliners have been used in terrorist attacks with massive fatalities

Ryder trucks have been used in actual terrorist bombings with massive fatalities.

Fark: Which ones get banned from traveling anywhere in the area?

"I believe that Chicago has shown a reputation of handling things correctly,"

Just like in 1968?

No, like how Dickie Daley terrorized Meigs Field with a midnight raid of bulldozers because his wife wanted it.

Maud Dib: Road_Kill: So, a commercial plane flying at 400 MPH covers 10 nautical miles is how much time? Unless you have circling aircraft locked on already, this is just tough talk and more security show.

I'm sure one of these on a rooftop would work just fine.

Probably not. That's a pretty small warhead, and an airliner is a pretty big plane. Oh, you might eventually "kill" it, but not before it could be piloted into a building.

And ended up making Chicago LESS safe due to the reclassification of the airspace around downtown.

Come Fly With Me...

Just a moment, I'll look up the reputation of the Chicago Air Force.

AugieDoggyDaddy: A nautical mile is about one minute of arc of latitude along any meridian. It amounts to 1,852 meters, or about 1.15078 standard miles.

I'm too dumb and lazy to do the math, but could someone tell me what 0.00001 standard (sic) miles equals in cubits?

0.0352 cubits.

Thank you google calculator.

If you get shot down for flying too close just imagine flying too close with ketchup on a hot dog.
