Default RE: Man is Arrested for attempted Attack!

Once again the news media got it totally wrong. The plane they showed was a ducted fan foamie. No ducted fan airplane is going to lift machine guns and explosives (they barely lift themselves) but now, whever the public sees a ducted fan aircraft they will squeal terrorist.

I understand there are maniacs among us who would do this sort of thing but if the news media is going to report they should at least show the right stuff. They talked about models half the size of a compact car and showed a 1.2 meter model, stupid.

In the FWIW department, to date there have been literally thousands of car and truck bombs detonated all over the world yet no one has moved to ban cars and trucks. Agree with DISCUS54, keep the turbines (not turbans) and get rid of the idiots.
