I didn't watch the video because I'm still on dial-up (extremely slow dial-up at that), But I think I get the jist of what the video was about. Now what bothers me about things like this is that I know for a fact that some people want to abolish general aviation all together, because they think that anything smaller than a 737 is a death-trap/rollercoaster scare machine/WMD, when in fact they have no idea what GA is all about, and never will because their tiny little brains can't be persuaded to look at things from another perspective. And to think that some dumbass would suggest that terrorists could use GA aircraft to deliver explosives! Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to put enough explosives in any aircraft that can be easily rented to do enough damage to bring down a building. These so called experts just want money, and the people paying them just want something to be "against" that doesn't effect them and makes them look like good Americans who are just looking out for our "safety". In all actuallity, the people behind this sort of thing just want the ratings, and shocking people is one way to do that. We are all pissed now, so I would say that they have done their job. Think of all of the people who believe what they say, that's what bothers me.
