Limited targets, little reserve force to deal with retaliation and an ally in Seoul hostile to military action argue against that option. Sanctions, always limited by what China would permit, will not force North Korean compliance and amount to a policy of containment or acceptance of a growing North Korean nuclear-weapons program.

Though Reid and Brown claim they were joint owners of the company, they say no documents exist to prove Reid's position...
...equipment was useless in this case. Each Cirrus plane has a large parachute that can be deployed to allow a plane in trouble to float safely to the ground. Several Cirrus planes and their pilots have been saved by their parachutes, and the chute apparently gave Lidle an impressive amount of confidence in his $187,000 plane. "The whole plane has a parachute on it," Lidle told the New York Times last month. "Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land...
