I'm thinking in the grand scheme of doom and gloom, it wouldn't be so hard to fly even a large commercial airliner into the US with evil intent...
So, it's been stolen and landed somewhere... Say a country friendly to the cause... The identity of the aircraft is changed... And it's refueled... Then it's flown to another country friendly to the cause... Refueled, and again strikes out... Now with a full fuel system... It flys out of the way of known airline routes... Off of radar coverage, then hundreds of miles out ito sea or in mountainous terrain it goes low level... Flying into another country, say south of its intended target... A country with poor radar coverage at best, and hides in mountainous terrain until crossing into the country of intended destination... Or from the second country it is now a known flight on known carrier routes, pinging the proper transponder codes...
A novel idea, but a plausible one... There are groups that hate other groups and have the financial backing to grease the skids for about anything...
Just food for thought...
