Model" airplane afficionados have used a remote-control GPS device to
guide a commercially available airplane--weighing 29 pounds, with a
9-foot wingspan--across the Atlantic Ocean. And GPS gives you enough
precision to land such an aircraft in a tennis stadium. Now use your
imagination. (Hint: Plastic explosives don't weigh much, and anthrax
is nearly weightless.)
