P-38's? Do you have any idea how many months it would take to peel open the cockpit door with one of those?
As for using a pen as a weapon, that was my point exactly- the real danger of the Al Qaeda types is that they think simple. 9/11 was a very simple plan, done with minimal equipment. I'm sure they've moved on to other things, like blowing up a container ship in a harbor or planting workers in food factories to poison food. (there was a bad hamburger batch 10 years ago, out of a huge plant in Iowa or So. Dakota that supplied grocery chains and restaurants, caused food poisoning to over 10,000 people in 15 states in a few days- I was a victim of that one).
