Austin Crash Ruled Not Domestic Terrorism

I wrote recently about the tragic attack on an IRS building by an unstable man flying an airplane. At the time I was concerned that the possibility of labeling it as terrorism could lead to inappropriately stringent rules for general aviation.

I read in Spencer S. Hsu's Washington Post blog that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's official stance is that this incident was not an act of terrorism. I applaud DHS for their intelligent approach to this situation. I hope we don't have to deal with any more cases like this...we'll have to be sure to watch out for each other and get our friends help when they need it.
