VISTA — A man who prosecutors allege turned his home into a virtual “bomb factoryâ€

I'm glad this guy won't be getting on any airplanes over the holidays.

This is too scary. There were way to many military installations within his reach.

And airports, airplanes, trains, cruise ships, malls, grocery stores, etc.

This guy isn't muslim and he isn't Arab so what keeps him off U.S. aircraft?

What keeps him out of a shopping mall, or busy city intersection, night club, or pick a spot?

Right now, a jail cell and $5 MILLION bail.

The local TV news says that he was licensed to fly small planes a few years back.
They don't know yet if he still has a valid license.

What would it matter if he had a valid license and decided to do harm?

Looks like fear mongering to me. Perhaps we should move from fear and take the bull by the horns.

licensed to fly small planes. That ought to send chills down the back of San Diego. Everytime I sit in my daughter's backyard and watch the small planes overhead I think about the 911 terrorist that took flying lessons there.

He doesn't own a plane and you have to have a license to rent a plane.

Of course he could still steal a plane.
