Drudge often pulls stories from someplace dark.

Gertz makes a occasional booboo as well.

Frankly, crashing an aluminum airframe into a large military ship or sub sounds like speculations or Ossama bravado to me. If the craft strayed off course and headed for the base, it would likely be intercepted. The Gov. cannot fix security levels at military facilities.

If the poster wants to go after the accuracy of Gertz' report, fine....but I don't understand the purpose of bringing up Drudge in this instance.

The only thing that could "intercept" would be our navy ships, but unless they are on alert, there isn't a chance if hi-jacking occurs just prior to final approach to Honolulu, the flight path is right across Barber's Point, Ewa Beach, and Pearl Harbor. There frankly isn't enough time to react. The "base" doesn't have anti-aircraft, and it would be too late to scramble fighters.
