But even then, the pilots could switch at boarding. Hell, we don't even do background checks on the people who work in our biological weapons plants!
I can see this being a problem. They could bring any one of those thousands of pounds of chemical or biological weapoms we sold them. NOT a pretty sight. I like to think we're going to gain more co-operation with foreign countries, not less. Bush isn't exactly winning their hearts and minds by excluding them from the rebuilding contracts.
Plus we give the Saudis a free ticket to do whatever they like.
Their departure from the United States right after 9/11 without being questioned by the FBI, while the rest of air travel was grounded here.....well, you go figure.
Did I mention to you that I met the pilot who flew the Saudis out of the country?
