El Al and their hugh security levels basically prove to us that no matter how good security is Terrorists can still achive their aims. El Al have had Skymarshals for example since almost their creation. But they still had aircraft hijacked.

And if any terrorist is going to try and shoot down an airliner, they would most probably be using one of the Stinger missiles America sold to the taliban in the 80's. And you don't need to be close to an airport to use one of those.

Stingers are history... latest stuff is the SA-18... 30% kill ratio against IR jammer eqiuiped aircraft

And stingers won't do the job? Are commercial aircraft IR jammer equipped? Exactly. They're using stingers.

Who care's if they're history or not. The fact is they can effectively shoot down an aeroplane and the Taliban was given a whole load of them in the 80's. If they use anything it's likely to be a Stinger.
