That is so last century: <a suspected member of the Al Badr militant organization had approached a flying school in Bangalore to learn to pilot a jetliner, at the behest of Al Badr leadership in Pakistan. > There isn't going to be another hijacking. Passengers will resist and swarm the criminals with blankets, pillows, fists, carry-on baggage, belts, notebook computers and the criminals will be helpless = punching and slashing at blankets and pillows is hard work and shooting doesn't do much good for long when one can't see the target for blankets and pillows. If it's true, then they are just dumb terrorists. There are much better ways of doing things - movie theatres are insecure, water supplies not protected, air conditioning wide open, apartments can be rented as storage facilities for diesel and nitrate fertilizer bombs, or even just as places to start big fires. If one carried a briefcase full of fuel into one's apartment every day, one could get 2 tons a year without being conspicuous. One could carry in suitcases, cartons, and not be noticed. I can imagine that getting 10 tons into an apartment wouldn't be all that difficult. That should be enough for quite a bang or even quite a fire. Combined with toxic stuff, it would be suitably dramatic. One could rent 100 apartments across the country and let them all go at once. Suitably positioned around columns, if the buildings aren't too big [as the Twin Tower columns were in the first attack], they might be able to bring the buildings down entirely. Mqurice
