Ya know, I live about 6 miles from my airport and the planes are low enough outside that anyone who was so inclined and had a stinger could take one down from 6-8 miles away from the airport. If it is going to happen, it will not be near an airport.

Then please tell me why we are spending billions of dollars searching for harmless pointy objects when there are much larger holes in security????
There is a residential neighborhood directly across the street from where a unway starts/ends at BWI. I have driven down this road when planes are landing. It wouldn't take a stinger to shoot one down.
