How hard can it be to spot a ship in the Med? On a clear day you can see a vessels wake from a great distance, finding a specific ship might be more difficult though.

I am guessing that they would be happy to hit anything. Even if they hit the a rowing boat, it would make headlines, which seems to be their aim at the moment.

the things is, terrorists main aim is to instill fear.
Even by them having these aircraft sitting at unknown location, it's going to put the fear of god into some people.

Stolen to scrap to fund terrorism? Just a thought.

Either way, not good.

All parts are catalogued, surely as soon as someone tried to sell parts of blacklisted planes, alarm bells would start somewhere?

How much damage could you cause to the world's economy if you just forced all commercial planes to be grounded for say 24 hours? You would not even need a target. Just take to the skies and fly in random directions all over the globe. Keep a couple back in a hanger somewhere to keep folks guessing. Governments rush to shut down airspace and you've then pretty much distrupted the lives of thousands of people and cost them a shed load of money in the process.

Or have I been watching too much tv?

i'd say you've not watched enough, a CIA operative would pilot an F16 and eject out onto the wing of the hijacked plane where he would disable an engine, then fight is way inside once a bad guy opened the door to take him out.
once inside his gun would jam and he would have to kill 4 armed hijakers with plastic cutlery from the food troly before landing the plane on a dessert in north africa.

Has anyone checked Steven Seagal's diary to see what's he's up to?
