EL AL Airlines and other Israeli carriers took this seriously starting in the 1980’s.
Once again the world asks for their expertise after vilifying her for years...
Nuke ISIS U now!
Well, we knew this was going to happen. We caused this, armed them, empowered them and not they are out of control
It’s the only way to be sure!
When we wake up one morning and the news is 6 or 7 airliners have been shot down by Isis missiles, the societal meltdown is going to be something to behold

I never guessed that “dead battery” = “demilitarized”...
Who knew?
What a brilliant strategy.
Well not really us, Our “allies” the Saudis are the biggest state sponsor of terrorism far more so then iran
Why did we invade iraq and not saudi arabia ?
15 out of the 19 911 hijackers were saudis
I wonder if these are the Stinger missiles left over from the Soviet Afghan war. I remember the heat seeking batteries died years ago, that the CIA funded and supplied to the Mujahideen (now Al Qaeda) years ago. Raetheon made them. 600 were unaccounted for when the Soviets left. The media reported about the dead batteries in them.
Doubt it, Saudi Arabia has been giving a ton of manpads to a jihadi group called the “islamic front” which is allied with al nusra the al qaeda front in syria,
Islamic Front is a huge force in syria with 45000-70000 fighters who are on saudi payroll who are allied with al qaeda,dont you think they might share some of those manpads the saudis give them with nusra ?

Of course the white house and most politicans(including republicans)will ever talk about them that might offended our “allies” the saudis.

Saudi Arabia is the world biggest state sponsor of terrorism,, Not Iran
Yes
Our stupidity in arming these groups is alarming.
Wasn't it suspected a large number of shoulder fired SAMs were 'lost' in the Libya revolt?
Invite lots of foreign muslims to our schools of higher education and teach them physics, chemistry, computer technology, engineering etc etc. Because they are state supported and pay much higher rates and spend money around college towns like drunk sailors. Then send them home or better still give them jobs here. What could go wrong?
I think it was Lennon that said that we would sell them the rope that they would hang us with.
“I think it was Lennon that said that we would sell them the rope that they would hang us with.”
Lennon: “Love is all you need”
Lenin: “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
Very doubtful TwA wasn’t shot down by a missile and it certainly wasn’t shot down by a MANPADS.
When it comes to politics there’s not much difference.
But you can’t put Lenin to music as easily.
Yoko has been doing it since before they married.
