So... based on the first part of your response, Dunedan... you gettin' your pilot's license soon?

So...based on this, you completely missed the parts where I described the alleged pilot as a "whackjob" who was "not gifted with great gobs of intelligence or discrimination," and where I described such actions as "stupid, counter-productive, inefficient and WRONG"? Or the part where I described his actions as attempted murder in the hundreds of counts?
Please. If somebody like me decides to take on the IRS, you'll know it when senior agency brass (not "worker bees" or everyday field agents) start mysteriously dropping dead. Until then, you're dealing with garden-variety morons, murderers and yes, sometimes terrorists.

BS. They, like most LEO agencies, are armed to the friggin' teeth. This is a country where every small-town hick Sherriff's Dept. has a 12-man SWAT team with APCs. The FBI just purchased two NTW-20 20mm anti-materiel rifles last month. What kind of toys d'you think the Infernal Revenue Service has to play with?

Why should I be? It's a rare occurance, with or without terroristic/criminal help.

(did you read his letter? He wants political change)

Wanting something and expecting to get it are not the same thing. The 9/11 hijackers were attempting to bring about specific political changes which they believed they would receive. Likewise the IRA, ETA, FARC, the Stern Gang, the Baader-Meinhof Gang, the Irgun, and other terrorist groups. This fellow's actions seem more to me to be an act of grandiose despair and suicide. He does not expect the changes he desires to take place: in fact he even refers to the fact that his death will insure such changes DON'T take place. This is the act of a psychotic or a depressed suicide, not a terrorist.
