#1 What airport did that "flight school" operate out of? Didn't anyone ever bother to check the registration on the plane?

#2 The C172 has 4 seats, so with one pilot and 4 passengers, it was pretty crowded. Probably 1 pax in the rear baggage space.

#3 This is very curious. A Hameed Afzal is actually trying to sell a 1979 Cessna T210 in Texas(see http://www.aircraftdealer.com/
aircraft_for_sale_detail/Cessna_210/
1979_Cessna_T210/2004.htm) and is actually a Pakistani Doctor who has done research on "Heavy Metals" found in some drinking water in Pakistan: see http://www.pakmedinet.com/view.php?id=6014 . Those heavy metals(Ni, Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn AND Cr) are the same types found at sites such as the department of Defense and energy with radioactive C's. See http://www.serdp.org/research/CU/CU-1084.pdf

#4 DHS now says that they were "just" illegals. link to news story

I still wonder why someone would pay $40K-100K to get smuggled in. That seems awfully high. What does a coyote typically charge?

#7 $1,500.00 to $5,000.00 from Mexico.
If the plot developed somewhere else, and being flown, in would be much more expensive.

#8 I never watch TV news so I missed this. It concerns me since I live in San Antonio. I hope it is actually a false alarm as Homeland Security says now.
