I'm wondering what this will do to the ever-tightening GA security situation.

I feel for the guy...he's nuts, but if you have ever tangled with the IRS....it'll drive you to drink at least...

Prayers go out for him and his family.

Sounds like this guy may have had many "demons" in his life.
Some reports say that his wife left him as well.

Ztex is right ,the IRS can be nasty.
Sad to say the media will have a field day with this and make things tough for everyone in aviation.

the thing that bugs me about people like this, is that they feel that they have to take others with them.. WTF??? his life was so sorrowful and crazy that he couldnt handle it any more, he should have done himself in. dont take innocent people with you!!!
i am ready to see if the other person that died yesterday was in anyway involved in this guys problems. he could have taken that plane and crashed into a field anywhere in the austin, georgetown tx. area. he tried to take out his wife and daughter, by burning down his house. thank goodness they were not home. WHAT A NUT JOB!!!!!

I know that the IRS can get nasty, but why try to make everyone else pay for their wrongs??
