Not long after 9/11, Osama bin Laden boasted that soon more planes would be “falling out of the sky.”
Now WorldNetDaily reports that “Transportation Security Administration officials say they believe terrorists will continue to plot attacks against commercial airplanes in the United States and abroad – including the use of shoulder-launched missiles.”
Unbelievable? “Officials cited the unsuccessful missile attack on an Israeli commercial airliner in Mombasa, Kenya, in November 2002, as an illustration of how credible the threat is. . . . While the U.S. intelligence community does not have any credible, specific intelligence information about planned MANPADS [man-portable air defense systems] attacks against commercial aircraft in the United States, the TSA believes safeguards need to be planned.”
