It appears pilots in the US trust the security on the ground to protect their citisens from terrorists on water supplies reservoirs, nuke plants, refineries, natural gas compression stations, pipelines, high-rise buildings but not in the air.
My question:
How different is it upthere from downhere?

Using your above examples, yes I trust the security on the ground in each place listed. Please tell me this jet_noseover, at which control station for a water supply resevoir ( resevoirs are tough to make lethal themselves), nuke plant, refinery, natural gas compression station, pipeline can the general public be seperated by a single door, of lesser strength than any even on the drawing board, without any armed guards on the public side, 98% of the time. I await a full report.
With your high rise example, I have never seen a highrise that has every entry point ,beside the main entry way glass ones, equipped with heavy duty steel doors far stronger than any aircraft will see. Every large highrise I have seen is 100% staffed with armed guards. see the difference.
If they protect the cockpit like they do with your above examples, and I won't even arm myself with dirty looks.
