Yep. Almost exactly the same situation was described in the book. I'd bet Pianka has read "Rainbow Six". Clancy's "Debt of Honor" had a former Japanese WWII pilot hijack a 747 and fly it into the Capitol during the President's State of the Union address, destroying 2 of the 3 branches of the U.S. government. It spooks me that the bad guys probably read Clancy's (and others such as Pianka) works for ideas. Pianka claims that his words were misconstrued: that he merely stated that, due to wayward policies, we were headed for a pandemic and consequent population collapse and that an airborne form of Ebola could be a possible cause of such events.
