These five stories are set slightly in the future, but only slightly. Perhaps five years from now. The technology described is an accurate portrayal of ATC systems of today, or in the case of ADS-B, an accurate portrayal of systems that are test flying today. The individuals and situations are fictional of course.

Of course they are fictional.

The reality is that a clever and determined
individual can create a multitude of horrors,
death and destruction without going to all
that trouble. If you need an example just
look at what Timothy McVeigh did with a van
and some fertilizer.
