- The deliberate suicide crash bombing by a domestic terrorist
pilot of a small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas has exposed
a grave failure of the Homeland Security Department to protect us Americans
from the threat posed by the virtually unregulated use in this country
of small aircraft.
-
- Just
about anyone can own and fly a small plane, and these, as we have now seen,
are readily adaptable into kamikazi missiles capable of destroying large
buildings.
-
- If
Homeland Security won't act, then it is up to Congress to move quickly
to tighten up security and control over small planes. We need to
insist that anyone seeking a pilot's license first submit to a full screening
by the FBI. No one with a criminal record of any kind should be permited
to fly or ride in a small plane. The same should be true with regard to
all foreigners. Since it's not possible to do a full check of the background
of persons from other countries, only US citizens should be able to obtain
and fly small aircraft within US airspace.
-
- All civil
air pilots and their passengers should be required to pass through meal
detectors before entering an airfield. We don't want them carrying hand
grenades or other weapons onto their planes. Planes should also be
subject to full searches by specially trained government inspectors before
takeoff to be sure they have not been packed with explosives.
-
- But that's not enough. We should ban all small aircraft
from flying within a mile of any urban areas, and the military should be
given authority to take down any plane that violates that rule. The
Airforce should be ordered to have fighters, armed with loaded machine
guns, in the air at all times, ready to be called into action if a small
plane appears to be on a threatening flight path.

- America cannot lower its guard...
