If all a terrorist needed to do was "threaten" an aircraft with a lot of smoke (not condensation -- contrail is an abbreviation for condensation trail, and refers to the "cloud" formed by the condensation of water vapor in a jet engine's exhaust), a salvo of much less than HPR motors would suffice.

Next hypothetical scenario that purports to justify BATFE's position on HPR, please.

len.

Except it isn't the land that's the cause of the conflict. Its the PEOPLE.

Haven't we dumped all those silos?

Some points to ponder....

Not a major feat to deploy in the front yard.

Hmmm. Fake an attack and have them destroy their own infrastructure.

I'm thinking neutron.

Ok, admittedly, I'm not up to date on their last major battle, what was it?

Why would anyone attack them? What do they have that would be desireable.... other than great looking women? ; )

The numbers have been reduced. Last time I was at one about 4 years ago, there were several dozen still active.

Naaahhh...the Swiss Army Knife is just a cover.

The 'secret' weapon is the Swiss *Navy* Knife!

You need some other reason???

Nawwwww that's good enough for me. ; )

Randy

How about all those unclaimed, numbered bank accounts...? :-)

Minor error. Typing to fast and in too big of a hurry. What's the bimbo's excuse?

I bet your wife gave you a great big pat on the head. After all you are so well trained. Did you wag your little tail in gratitude? After all, you showed her what a right thinking, sensitive, caring, feeling male (term used loosely here) you are. Hell, I bet you even put down the toilet seat after you piss.

Minuteman III silos are still active and in service,IIRC. "Peacekeeper" are still active,too,I believe.

My wife's a psychologist/ profiler.

She told me when I posted the message that this would be your response. Then she explained your pathology.

It's one of the funniest damn thing I've ever heard, and now that you've fulfilled her predictions, it's even funnier.

You tell 'im Arnie! Real men don't even LIFT the toilet seat BEFORE they piss, right? Just smack that bitch around if she complains, eh? Her and those damn kids too! Hell, a restraining order is just her way of tellin' you she LOVES bein' smacked around, right?

around, right?

You guys have toilet seats? All I have is a sharp stick,.... no wait, wrong thread. Sorry.

He failed or refused to inform the vendor of that at the time of purchase. He was purchasing as a private citizen "for a known nefarious purpose" ie to make weapons.

Assume a Cessna 172 side view or front view (not top or bottom) Assume a "preditor".

Er... he wasn't required to.

Sorry, agents make illegal buys all the time.

All they need to buy machine guns without a permit is advance permission from their superiors... much less a gray area like the muddled mess surrounding larger hobby motors.

Ok. Cessna 172 data is easy, but why a minumized-profile scenario? I was working under the "van parked along the runway axis" scenario.

If you're not under the flight path then hitting the target drops from "nearly impossible" to "frickin' ridiculous".

BTW... launch exhaust output from 12 J's vs. the volume of even a large van gives... interesting... pressure numbers. Interesting, that is, when you consider the heat content....

And what have predatory editors got to do with it? ;)

A Predator drone, however, has a few available stats.
