Perhaps a change of perspective. If SW was more careful with a twenty five million dollar investment than what we see, theft of property moots the knee jerk reaction when terrorism is the topic?
The cop was on a beat, I assume, and that leaves holes in this a/c's care... An ignition lock needn't be on the checklist, or on the a/c. It can be an area sensor, CCTVmonitored continuously, etc.
If I left my a/c in the care of an occasional public servant, I would not be protecting my assets, my insurance carrier, or the people who live under any potential flight path the thief/kamikaze may choose.
