PROPONENTS OF CUTTING BUSINESS AIRCRAFT SECURITY CURBS WON'T FIND COMFORT IN CLARKE ARTICLE
Proponents of reducing security restrictions on business aircraft will not find much comfort in the January/February issue of The Atlantic magazine. The cover article, "America Attacked: The Sequel," was written by former national anti-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke in the form of an "imagined history" from the perspective of 2011. Clarke, who characterized his scenario as "intentionally very bad but not worst-case," begins with the murder of a Wichita couple by terrorists in Las Vegas; includes "executive jets packed with explosives [slamming] into chlorine-gas facilities in New Jersey and Delaware"; and imagines a coordinated attack using heat-seeking missiles that bring down Boeing 767s near four major airports.
