Everyone nowadays seems to be so focused on threats that terrorists pose to airliners. This is understandable, and indeed a good thing because it eliminates opportunities for future terrorist attacks.

So, not trying sound like a faultfinder or like a paranoid freak, I pose this question...

What has been done in regards to business jets on international flights arriving in the US.

Bizjets are easily attainable and many rich taliban 'supporters' probably already have private jets. What is stopping them from loading a nuke, or a chemical bomb and a crazy pilot into one of these jets and then flying it into Washington DC as a chartered int'l flight?

Are private aircraft and their passengers searched on the same standards being implemented on airliners and their passengers?

If indeed the aircraft and pax are searched on arrival, are they searched the same on departure?

Could an 'unsearched' jet, arrive at a US int'l airport and detonate a device before stopping and being searched by US officials?

These questions have been with me for a while now, ever since all the announcements of possible attacks after 9/11 (crop-dusters with deadly chemicals etc.)

To me it still seems like a door that the gov has left standing wide open, and quite frankly it scares me.
