Regulate those terrorists out of business
Note to politicians. Regulations do not prevent terrorism..
I think it is funny how the politicians are making a big stink about the Cory Lidle crash in New York, saying that a terrorist could load up an aircraft with biological weapons and crash simularly. Some are calling for that area to be closed to general aviation traffic.
This is pretty silly in my mind. It is a very busy corridor, but pilots have flown safely there for years. It is not like a suicide terrorist is going to look at his sectional and be detered from flying in there. There isn't anything that Air Traffic control could do to retaliate against a trespassing aircraft except for report it to the FAA. I doubt a suicidal terrorist is going to mind getting written up.
Basically the law abiding are inconvienienced, and the only benefit in exchange is that the politicians get to pretend like they are doing something to fight terrorism.
If somebody famous crashes thier car on the interstate highway, are we going to close that down too?
