I agree with you....lets ban all crop dusters and move towards organic food production whenever possible. Whole Foods (a natural foods grocery chain) is incredibly popular here in Chicago. It wouldn't bother me if the country stopped spraying toxic pesticides on our crops -- we'd probably improve the quality of our groundwater supply too....=)

Yes, we did some shopping at a store like that (may have actually been a Whole Foods) in Colorado during our vacation in the summer of 2000. Plenty of bio produce and meats available on this side of the pond - as it is almost 'standard' fare here. Chickens are about half the size as in the states because of it, but they taste better over here. I don't even know if crop dusting is allowed in Austria as I've never seen a duster up in the air.

Regardless, I would imagine that as organized as the terrorists were in regards to the initial attacks that plenty of plans for other types of attacks have received equal attention from the network. Hard to think such an organization would be a one trick pony. Whether or not they are carried out remains to be seen, but the heightened awareness which has now been created can only help serve to prevent some of those plans from being executed.
