Anyway, all the funds in Al-Qaeda could not cope with current training and currency requirements.
I assume that was a dig at training costs these days and not a genuine comment?

I think we might be suprised at what Al-Qaeda can and cannot afford. They were smart enough to work the stocks and shares leading up to 9/11 and already had serious financial clout to train their terrorists at the alleged training camps. I have forgotten their exact estimated assets reported but they were extremely disturbing if I remember correctly.

They could afford flight training to the extent of being able to handle a jet as complex as a 75/767 into a narrow target at over 400mph as we all witnessed on 9/11.

Not trying to say anything more other than some people maybe under estimate them that's all.

As for the new rules: slightly worrying as I can see some innocent guys losing their jobs with this one.
