Are you afraid to fly yet????

At Tech Central Station, Ralph Kinney Bennett writes an implausible bad made for TV movie script, where the bad guys shoot down an commercial airline with a man portable ground to air missile. Actually, his scenario isn’t with a high tech missile, but rather an RPG. With minor modifications, Bennett argues that an RPG will bring down a plane very well when its taking off or landing.

Just think about it, next time your taking off, not only do we have to worry about some nut with box cutters, but now have to worry about going swimming in jet fuel because of a some nut on the ground. Maybe I’ll see if I can take Amtrak instead. Happy flying.
