It just irks me to no end that these asshole suicide pilots get their training from US flight schools and then go on to attack US targets.

Whassamatta, [Kerim Chatty](http://nypost.com/news/worldnews/56110.htm)? No fucking flight schools in Tunisia?

These fundamentalists who denounce the West sure have no problem using Western technology when it comes to flight simulators in South Carolina.

:rolleyes:

Is he ?

It would be a significant shift in MO if he was (being solo), he already has a criminal record that includes possession of a shotgun and theft and he’s qualified to fly a light aircraft – at least to some extent. And the gun had “three of four rounds”…not sure that would be enough against a plane load of people knowing there were going to die unless they did something. But maybe he is…

I guess it’s the ‘Muslim’ thing that alerted you and the media.

I know it’s an increasingly strange concept in these situations but I think I might wait until the evidence unfolds in the criminal trial.
