What about the missile defence system? Take a hammer to kill a fly and you
may miss the fly.
The word is "appropriate technologies". Eavesdropping on Internet
communication won't help, as this people usually use plain old technologies
and basic flaws in systems. They try to find a technological answer, where
the problem is human. Screen all passengers before taking a flight, ask them
their ID or passport, no fly zone over cities, and have the air controllers
give the alert when a plane go off course.
Do not cut expenses or put more moeny, work smarter and reliabily...
By the way, have you heard about the new scenario in the Arab version of MS
Flight Simulator?
This is a bad joke, but it shows the level of technology required to do
it...
Cheers.

Great.
So now the FBI is saying "if only it were lawful to deploy Carnivore
everywhere, and we could sift through everyone's communications without a
warrant, we might have had a clue this was coming."
The scary part is that Congress just might go for it this time.
