The difference there is that a plane could potentially be used as a weapon if someone gained access to the cockpit. Realistically though you'd need to blow open the door, which would result in the loss of the plane anyway, and current security methods are not effective at stopping you getting explosives on board. Makes a nice security theater though.

You seem to be arguing against yourself here.

They can be, but to a much more limited degree than bringing down a skyscraper.
