[quote]A man was arrested Wednesday and accused of plotting an assault on the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol using remote-controlled aircraft armed with explosives

And i Quote....'This undated photo released by the United States Attorney's Office District of Massachusetts (USAMA), shows a remote controlled model of the US Navy's 1960s Phantom jet fighter that allegedly belonged to Rezwan Ferdaus'


er...hang on, undated? So why does it say 18/02/2003 on it? Allegedly? So it might not be his then? Hes had it for 8 years? Baffling.....

It takes a few years to learn how to fly those things!  8-)

Maybe the photographer from the US Attorney's office didn't know how to reset or remove the date stamp on the camera.

Why some people do stuff like he attempted I have NO idea. :-/

This guy sounds more like a nut case than a threat.

I'll say.

Of course, unless he aimed exceptionally well into an open window (and would probably need to be standing at close range to ensure it!), all that would happen with a relatively small RC model is that it would disintegrate on impact with the wall, and any explosives that did detonate probably wouldn't penetrate the building!

Oh well, at least he had a vivid imagination!

None of my RC aircraft, if loaded to maximum weight, could never have even chipped a brick.
