I dunno. I lean more toward Classic's point than not.
We don't know that the guy is harmless. Updates to the story on CNN reveal the guy is Turkish and unhappy. That's not "case closed", but it's concern-worthy. There's some pretty nasty technology out there. They didn't find him in the plane, so he could have dropped off or hidden something nasty - bio-weapons, radioactive dust, etc.

Of course we do. But define harmless. If someone steals a car, is he attempting to take down buildings?
Well someone stole a Cessna in FL, did crash it into a large building. What happened? A whole office was destroyed. Not an office building. Not a floor in that building. A whole office. It was a Cessna for Christ sake. It was simply stolen by someone who walked out, started the plane and flew away. Why is this story even in the news? A stolen car would do as much damage. Cars are stolen routinely. And many are tracked every day as stolen cars even cross international borders. None of those are news worthy. But this was a Cessna. An event that does not happen every day. A unique event that still is not a significant threat. Only an extremist (or someone as dumb as an extremist) would cast an alarm as if Saddam had more WMDs. A Ryder truck can take out a whole building. Even more dangerous are 18 wheelers. Large trucks are hijacked or stolen every month. Where are those massive dangers to American from classicman? Oh. What is routine but a greater threat does not cast hype and fear? Exactly. Only wackos see this as bin Laden lurker to kill us all. Clearly, if the pilot had been OJ Simpson, then we should all be frightened. Not. Don't let these wackos promote more hype, hate, and fear. They want power. Wackos love to destroy using their fears and myths. It makes them feel strong. Instead, keep life in perspective. It was a Cessna followed by F-16s. Just like a stolen car would be followed by police if it too crossed the border from Canada to the US. Fear more hijacked and stolen tractor trailers every month. Unlike the Cessna, those can actually do serious damage. Only a wacko would see a single engine Cessna as a threat to America. |

Really? Friend of yours?
Unless you've known this guy for years or you've done an in-depth background check, you don't know what mayhem this guy is capable of -- and even then you can be mistaken. You're just assuming things based on what he said about himself. Very sloppy reasoning, tw. I admit you can't assume he's a black hat either.

If a Cessna was that danagerous, then shake daily in fear of something that really is dangerous - a highjacked and stolen 18 wheeler. Why not worry about a real threat? Why so much fear of an irrelevant Cessna? Threats from that Cessna can only exist with wacko fears. Fears based in perspective would, instead, worry about real threats such as stolen tractor trailers. Cessna crashed into a building with maximum effect. It destroyed one office. Worry far more about stolen trucks sharing a road with a school bus. If you don't worry about that every day, then logic says that Cessna was a near zero event. Why would one waste so much bandwidth on it? Extremists fear squadrons of Cessnas massing to kill us all. Evil Russians and Chinese conspiring to destroy the electric grid. Then they can blame Pelosi. Worry more about a heart attack. Can we blame that on Obama or McCain? Wackos would. Last edited by tw; 04-09-2009 at 06:44 PM. |

All you can think of to do with a plane is to fly it into a building?
