Maybe they could borrow from Saddam - except  neither Saddam nor 
Bin-Laden has a suitable delivery mechanism... These forms of technology 
are not easy to use or manufacture and using them, even in confined 
spaces is extremely difficult. Look at Murakami's book Underground....

Hi-jacking is a different option which can be in the commercial field by 
not confusing the systems desire for fast throughput and turnaround of 
airplanes with human freedom... As said elsewhere - they could have 
driven one of the planes into Three Mile Island...

My current view is that the current paranoia is an inevitable side 
effect of the 9/11 event, but it is unnecessary and doesn't help the 
children of Iraq.

They only need to hi-jack them, or borrow from friend Saddam.
