Americans Shocked to learn from the The New York Times,
“WASHINGTON Despite an immense investment in security, the U.S. aviation system remains vulnerable to attack by Al Qaeda and other jihadist groups, with noncommercial planes and helicopters offering terrorists a particularly tempting target, a confidential U.S. government report concludes.
“Intelligence indicates that Al Qaeda may have already discussed plans to hijack charter planes, helicopters and other general aviation aircraft for attacks because they are less guarded than commercial airliners, according to a previously undisclosed “special assessment” on aviation security by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security…
“A separate report issued last month by the Department of Homeland Security concluded that developing a clear framework for setting possible targets in order is critical because “it is impossible to protect all of the infrastructure sectors equally across the entire United States.” Many Democrats say the administration has lagged in this area”
Amazing to think that people can think of ways to commit crimes where cops aren’t around.
Leaving the world alone and allowing Americans to defend themselves are apparently not being considered as options.
