[geeks] Hijacked

[D.A. Muran-de Assereto]

IIRC, the US skymarshal program wasn't exceptionally effective. I believe
the Brits use of SASmen on aircraft and the Israeli program worked out
well, though.

Also keep in mind that the terrs are quite capable of
getting permits and registering weapons if it will make their
terrorist actions easier. These folks do not magically appear
here, ready to perform some sort of horrendous act; they have 
support networks throughout the world, just as the Cold War
spy networks did.

According to some sources, the primary source of PIRA financing
is.....Boston, Massachusetts. PIRA and Sinn Fein (sp?) leaders
used to regularly visit Boston to acquire money and support.
