Should Saudi Arabia be taken over by fundamentalists it does not automatically follow that all of the pilots would go over to the fundamentalist side. Nor does it follow that the fundamentalists would use the aircraft against any other country or its own citizens.

One must understand military and weapons sytems capabilities as well as countermeasures before stating such outrageous innuendos.
