You are totally on track about the only ways to destroy a vampire. Aro is somewhat paranoid that humans have weapons that could destroy them. At the moment, humans possess many explosives and bombs. Unfortunately you'd also destroy many humans if you tried to bomb a vampire to death. Keep this in mind too. When Bella was pregnant with Renesmee...nothing could penetrate the anmoitic sac since it was made of the same thing vampire skin is made from. This means it can't be x-rayed or anything. Can you imagine the havoc at an airport with vampires going thru the x-ray machine. The machines wouldn't read anything....but something black. It must be extremely difficult for vampires to ride commercial planes. Perhaps they just move so swiftly around the machines nobody could tell. But, humans are now actually able to detect a vampire...because they don't show up in x-rays. We already have tazers...perhaps not too far in the future, we'll have ray-guns that could incapacitate a vampire. Or even forcefields that vampires won't be able to penetrate. So, Aro is justified that humans would eventually catch up to vampires....and find ways to control or harm them. But, I think mostly Aro just uses all this as a scare tactic to control other vampires into doing what he wants them to do. But I do think that there will become a day when vampires would find it almost impossible to kill a human. Perhaps by that time, they'll have their own 'human' farms where they can raise humans as lifestock. Also the humans with special gifts would probably do humanity little good. While human, the power or gift isn't at full strength and usually the human can't even control it. These gifted humans would probably found out by the Volturi, and changed to be made one of them. There are very few examples of vampires who's powers existed before they were created vampire. Bella is one. Both Alec and Jane are another. Alice could also see the future before she was created. But few others had the power or gift before becoming a vampire.
