Here's what I'm thinking: the black-smoke-monster-"security-system" thingie has, as far as we know, only spared Locke and Eko, of the people who it has confronted.
Has it actually killed anyone but Weiss, Not Weiss?

Did the smoke kill him? I thought it was something else. The mechanosaur.
I thought the smoke was what the mechanosaur really was. It made a similar noise and ripped up the jungle, didn't it?
I thought the smoke was the mechanosaur.
and I assumed they were two different things! Wow.

Well, they have the option to go that way if they want, but it never occurred to me that it wasn't the mechanosaur. Heh.
So, anyone wanna bet one of the things in the smoke was a spinning red ball?
specifically, I thought Weiss was killed by the island's "security system" and that this black smoke is something else entirely.
What if it's a two tier system? The smoke evaluates the target, then the mechasaur kills anyone the smoke doesn't like.
If so, then between the first time it met Locke and the second, the smoke changed it's mind. Locke may have become someone the Island does not like over the course of the first season, and now it needs a new high preist.

Wow, it really didn't like "Weiss" then, did it, given that it didn't take very long the evaluate him. Or maybe it realized as the pilot he might be able to figure out that where the plane went down wasn't where they ended up (or stayed, if the island is mobile).
Or the writers could just be pulling stuff out of their asses.
