Exactly. The wound in the Pentagon was a small focalized area that penetrated multiple layers of reinforced concrete and penetrated the last in an even more focalized point. Large bulky passanger jets don't do this, esspecially with a blunt, weak, aluminum nose. If any penetration were to happen it would be a larger hole taking out a large chunk of the reinforced building's constitution...only things with penetrators can do what happened to the pentagon (hence the missile theory).
