The feds worry that terrorist aren’t just looking at the big planes as a weapon to kill.
ABC News reports that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI issued a warning Friday about small planes, saying:
“Violent extremists with knowledge of general aviation and access to small planes pose a significant potential threat to the homeland.”
ABC reports there are 228,000 general aviation planes at 4,000 airports across the nation.
Intelligence experts say al Qaeda is no longer determined to pursue only massive 9/11-style attacks.
“They have sort of taken on this view of death by a thousand cuts, that if they try a lot of smaller attacks they are just as effective as the fear factor, so they really get more bang for their buck to do smaller attacks,” said ABC News consultant and former FBI investigator Brad Garrett.
