Very true.  The truth is that anyone could have easily bought or simple 
chartered a few corporate jets and caused nearly the same amount of 
damage.  A scary thought.

My concern for the future, though, (at least regarding topics discussed on 
this list) is that NGOs will be further blocked from true participation in 
international meetings and conferences, including the upcoming World 
Summit, all in the name of 'security'.  And as for peaceful protesting, 
that will be even more difficult.  Expect further infractions on invididual 
and privacy rights, and probably a crackdown on encrypted email and other 
communications, only a year or so after the RSA encryption was allowed to 
be exported from the US...
