[The Incredibles] Was Syndrome not afraid of the consequences of shooting down a government plane?

Syndrome probably thought he could get away with it - maybe he believed his technology was sophisticated enough that no one would pin the attack on him, or that he had enough political clout to have any investigation quashed or redirected. 

Similarly, he probably also thought he could get away with having his robot attack a major city, then flying in to "save" the day. He was wrong there, and he very well may have been wrong on the issue of getting away with shooting down a government plane too.
