As I see it, the bad guys see these type of targets as both physical and psychological. Basically, if they are successful (esp. in a plane), there will be a large number of victims. Also, since a much larger proportion of the population has some type of 'fear' of flying, they can incite this rather easily.

It's Freudean. I think it has something to do with feelings of inferiority due to....ahem....endowment issues.

Probably because planes are easy targets and by focusing their attacks on planes either El Al or an American carrier, they are assured of taking out Americans and/or Jews - the targets of their sick, twisted hatred.

Hit two birds with one stone - down the airliner and damage the economy. All market economies depend heavily upon travel, at least today.

Time for someone to invent teleportation.

Beam me up, Scotty. This place is crawling with muslims.

Shalom.
