>>Suspect a Citation on a charter would not qualify as a mass transit vehicle.<<

Maybe it does qualify:
_________________________________

...The anti-terrorism provision of the Patriot Act was used to prosecute Richard Reid of Great Britain for hiding explosives in his shoe while on a flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001, but that count of the indictment against him was dismissed because a federal court ruled that an aircraft was not a "vehicle" under the scope of the Patriot Act.

The law subsequently was amended to define "vehicle" as any "means of transportation on land, water or through the air."
