Take him out guys, he has just let go with a Sidewinder and some 20 mill..........................The death of a simpitter

Not to joke about a bad subject but my Father-In-Law asked me if I planned on training terrorists with my cockpit  Too soon?

Yeah.... that whole "terriorist" subject is "weird" when it comes to home cockpits.  It appears that these days "paranoia" abounds.  ::)

He probably was making a joke........ but too many folks would possibly look at this hobby and have a little niggling "worry" in the back of their mind about "that guy next door with the cockpit in his basement".

Blech.  :P

Yeah it was a total joke but that isn't the first time I heard those "paranoid" statements

For all we know the Department of Homeland Security has all of us builders on a watch list

Entirely possible.  8-)

Did you not know, all hardware stores have to report all members of the public buying moderate amounts of MDF and toggle switches

Doesn't surprise me. Read an article today stating that 4000 aircraft had been auctioned at AMARC, including trainers such as T-34s, of which many fly in civilian hands already. So paranoid are "the powers that be" post 9/11, that all the aircraft were sold on the proviso they are scrapped on site, and no part larger than 10cm x 10cm remains.
