"...and then Lancelot, Galahad and I leap OUT of the cargo bay....."
2nd for all you muslim terrorists out there, after reading this article, I'm sure you have now gotten a number of really good ideas on how to potentially use high power rockets with gps and or rc to guide it towards a jet airliner....
3rd and finally: read his proposed counter measures for jet airliners....lasers and air to air missiles.... this guy has way too much free time on his hands......WHAT A RETARD....

One would think that since the Air Force can't provide a reliable countermeasure system for a 2 billion dollar bomber, and since the Navy can't provide a reliable anti-missile system for a 20 billion dollar aircraft carrier, and since DoD/DARPA could not provide a reliable missile defense system for ballistic missiles, that a person smart enough to be a Senator would realize that you can bankrupt America and violate every last citizen's civil liberties and still not have a reliable commercial aircraft defense system.
What a maroon! Everyone here knows that this is complete BS. This is what were up against, right here. This baloney sounds reasonable to the average citizen who dosen't know much about HPR.
Well, I missed this the first time through... From the references in
If someone has connections at Case Western, maybe they could find contact information for this guy. He doesn't show up on there online directory, but maybe they don't list "Cartoon Science" faculty.

Snicker, "cartoon science",... that's a good one!

Like most such he did himself in by riding his publicity machine into the ground... till even Joe Sixpack realized something was very wrong.
Still, the damage he did shattered careers for no good reason and scarred many people for life.

See, you install these systems that make your business cronies rich (after you get a consulting contract with them) and then when no high power model rockets bring down any airliners you claim they have proven to be an effective deterrent!

If you look at Reference 15 in the full paper
I want to know how to get Nasa to grant me money for Cartoon Science.
Sounds lucractive. I'll call the Question Mark Guy on the TV ads, he'll know.
"Get a $100,000 grant for Cartoon Science , or your GED !"
Given that NASA is largely a PR firm, you might get it.
Its just SO frustrating. The BATFE/Schumerberg consortium eats this stuff up. John Q. Public hasn't a clue and just sees a PhD saying high power sport rockets are a threat to airliners.
Dr. "Can't find a real job so I'll sell emotional trash to any loser website who will buy it" Know-it-all-intellectually-dishonest-hype-chasing-bubble-blower adds to the rampant dumbing down paranoia that has an already scientifically challenged society firmly in its death grip.
Maybe that's it. Get the populace stupid enough and they'll believe anything they're told.
"Move away from the book; you are in violation of Government Rational Thought Laws."
The vast majority are already at that point.

I've read this thread with a bit of interest. Yes, we all agree that this article contains a load of crap. I think that one thing that the hobby needs is a spokes person or two. There is a link on the web page for how to submit an article. A well-reasoned well thought out article of how the hobby has gained experience with rockets and electronics and that hobby rockets would make poor weapons to hit moving targets. (at the range you would have to get to have a reasonable chance of hitting with hobby rocket, a shotgun into a jet engine would have more chance of hitting and be more effective).
I'm Canadian and they won't accept an article from me. I think that a reasonable sounding (not flame ridden) response to these articles would go further to help our hobby (than complaining here).
Is there someone who could craft a "professional" article about how difficult it would be to use a hobby rocket for terrorism?
