True enough. Put the planes on remote control or GPS sync or whatever - and make

it easier, those who crash them won't have to be on board.

The only nearly 100% safe solution might be a Soviet era type of society - which 

seems to be the path someone heavyweght has in mind for the US. I personally

have yet to be convinced that those who did 9/11 had the brains to plan

it and make it work, and that the political effects which were consumed were

just a welcome coincidence.

 What is driving me angry is the fact (I pray my perception on that would

prove wrong) that everyone knowledgeable enough knows those programs are all

about justifying spendings which are light years away from buying the public

anything, and there is nothing anyone can do about it - although some people

might want to. BTW, how is the missile protection program going? They must have

begun to use office PCs on that, too, otherwise they would have had at least

one hit.
