They are saying its not terrorism because if this was terrorism, they should have know in advance of this given that's what they exist for.

Can't let people know they never succeed at their primary objective. Or do anything but support illegal parallel construction.

Power mongers will use any opportunity.

Its much easier to say "there isn't enough training," than to say "our people exhibited gross incompetence."

Or watch Air Crash Investigation: "Unlocking Disaster"

Tells all about how the NTSB results were fraudulent to appease Boeing and airline profits.

Can't even believe the NTSB investigation. See United Airlines flight 811. NTSB is in bed with the airlines, putting profit above safety.

Sounds like we need more background checks and security measures to ensure bad people don't become pilots. That's what the anti-gun folks do to approach to mass murders.

Silkair 185. We would be able to know for sure if the pilot intentionally flew the plane into the ground.

MH370. If sent via satellite, we would see what happened in the minutes after they went off radar.

You really can't fathom how video would help? Really?

Privacy is in the bedroom, not in the cockpit.

As a 2nd amendment supporter, all I hear is how we need more background checks and more training. Now you're telling me someone vetted as much as an airline copilot isn't trustworthy? What does that say about the vetting process?

How is who murdered 150+ people irrelevant?

Seriously, what are they doing in the cockpit that needs privacy? Privacy is for when you're retiring for the night with your spouse, not flying an airline full of people.

Can't wait to go board a plane where the pilots do god knows what up front that needs privacy. Very reassuring.

How far does a car travel in a fraction of a second? Quite far depending on speed.

You sound like a dangerous driver, with wandering attention. How many accidents have you been in?

True, every instant looking at the speedometer is time not looking at the road. Speed limits should be eliminated. If someone can't determine a safe speed to drive at, they shouldn't be driving.

When I see a cop has someone pulled over on a 2 lane road, cars coming into my lane to pass the hazard (which is illegal) is more dangerous than whatever speed the driver was pulled over for. Heck IMO bicycles on a public road is far more dangerous than speeding. I don't know how many times I felt like a car was playing chicken with me, coming at me headon in my lane to pass a bicycle. Yet riding a bicycle on the road is legal.

Obama got 95% of the black vote in 08. If you show me a stat showing 95% of hillbillies voted Republican, I will print out this slashdot page and eat it.

Every flight controller I'm aware of requires either a radio frequency connection to a RC controller, or GPS.

Both can be messed with. By building a drone myself, radio interference is a huge issue. A directed 1575mhz signal towards the drone would certainly interfere with its lock on the GPS satellites (my Ublox M8n gets disrupted just from other electronics on the vehicle!). And to knock out flight control, just emit something around 433 mhz, or 2.4ghz towards the craft and that should take it out. Granted emitting a powerful signal in those frequencies will have collateral effects, but with a drone endangering the white house, I'm sure that doesn't matter.
