Not obvious to me. In a test the Japanese flew an old jetliner into a 
simulated nuclear plant cooling tower.  Result? plane demolished and the 
tower was scratched.  Can anything be used for ill will? Of course.  But in 
the aftermath of 9/11 and Oklahoma, why are small planes targeted and 
trucks with more carrying capacity are ignored?
