"However ... the next attempts at serious terrorism are unlikley to be aircraft. There are ships and trains and all sorts of fun and games they can have"


"Yes, there will be some attempts at a/c hi-jacking but I doubt if the big boys will bother for a while."


PAXboy,

Sounds great. But how does your logic reconcile the fact that large terrorist truck bombings have not decreased after the 1983 US Marine Beirut bombing.

I suppose in 1984 you thought they wouldn't do any more large truck bombings in the future. Go ahead, make yourself feel better.

A question for the anti-gun crowd; How many have seen any banks converting their bank vault doors to the current design of reinforced cockpit doors? Surely they would be lighter and easier to open and close , and they must be just as strong and secure.
