but why is the US so slow to catch up? Seems like Part 121ers are a fair catch to these guys...

It's called Money!

I know absolutely nothing about military weapons, so I'll leave that discussion to those that do. I do think that the possibility of small military missles being used against civil aircraft should scare the heck out of the TSA. Hopefully, someone in government will wise up and start making a concerted effort to: 1, close our borders and, 2. remove any and all potentiol terrorist. Drastic times require drastic measures. Sooner or later, we must accept that some people cause trouble, and remove them from this free society. The problem is that the modern mindset says that you don't blame people, you blame the object they used to commit the crime. I wonder what happens now, will the government call for more drastic stinger control? Maybe the call will be for an anti-stinger defense system located above the control tower at each airport. Wouldn't the military industrial complex love that? Image the money the government would spend on that system. I offer that it would be easier to remove the people who have shown a propensity to destroy us.

We should take those 35000 TSA newbies and turn them into INS agents. (also, get the ACLU types out of the INS) Let those agents track down all of the people who fit the terrorist PROFILE, and then kick them out.

Actually its sort of amusing, the big government answer is usually to control the object, I do wonder how they will attempt to demonize the stinger .
I can see it now, "Stinger Control, Inc. has announced today that it opposes the ultra right wing National Stinger Association. SCI founder, Scara Grady said that there is no sporting use for stingers and wants all Americans to call their congressperson and demand that she support the new SCI initiative, Save Our Kids From Stingers. In a related story, SCI and NagGang activist, Nosie ODonnel defended her personal bodyguard, Ms. Helen Degenerate, who reportedly carries a stinger for Ms ODonnels personal safety. Ms. ODonnel stated, "I'm different, I need to be treated special because I'm popular. I can be trusted with a stinger, it's just the huddled masses that are a threat."

Man, am I bored

whether we close our borders or not...there's probably enough sleeper cells here anyway...just visit your local Seven Eleven (and, yes, I know I am generalizing)

either way, with the way things are going, we're allready fawked...

Agreed, that's why I said to get the ACLU out of the INS and remove all of the potential terrorist.
