The kill zone is 40 miles in/out any major airport. Most MANPADS are about as long as a Weedeater and can be thrown in the back seat or trunk of most cars. Or, they can be broken down and then assembled in about 40 seconds. There is nothing to someone shooting one, just point it at a hot jet, get tone, pull the trigger and shoot, then jump in a car. By the time the thing hits the jet the shooter is long gone.

I've heard that the concern is that these things have been brought across the Mexican border and are in the hands of Mexican and South American gangs. The Islamo-Nazis don't need anything but money to hire the gangsters.

Very scary.

Yup. And there's basically nothing that anyone can do about it other than the impossible of excluding everyone from a 40 mile radius around an airport.

Oh, except go over and kill all the people who order the shooting. And all their devotees in the area. That usually tends to stop such plots.
