Seems like it would be pretty easy to drive a van or something right up to the stadium and set it off. I've wondered why they haven't just gone out and bought/stolen something like a Cessna Citation or Gulfstream, load it up with explosives and fly it into a public building or event. How hard would that...

ctj, you are absolutely right. but mothers are funny. i'm not absolving the mother as much as trying to explain that mentality. i saw it with my mother and my sister. that maternal bond is hard to break because there is a lot more history there than the last 5-10 years. every family has a bad one. my prediction is that if she talks to her mother, her mother sighs a lot and says "i know" a lot, and changes nothing, even...

I've got a funny story.

Quote: i just don't know why terrorists target airplanes, when they are the hardest target to successfully hit. there are so many ways in this country that they could freely walk around and cause so much damage and death with no or little resistance. the day they figure this out is the day they instill some fear in me. Bang for the buck, I guess. If they bring down a plane, everyone on it dies. If they blow up a train car, most of the...

The assistant AD's name is Slutzky. That's what the perp needs to be after he is terribly and righteously brutalized in prison.

I've watched the Austin skyline grow from this when we moved here in 1959 - the photo was taken just about 4 blocks from our house on Elmhurst: http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth33446/m1/1/high_res/?width=930
