The spiders have us hacked. I know they have some of our threads. The commies took one from me Monday night. Dont answer or believe anything frenchy. Read my bookmarks.

It wouldn't be hard to shoot down a plane on approach or on take off even from 2-3 miles out.

They are low and slow for a long way and on predictable flight paths depending on the wind.

I am suprised that they haven't shipped a large midlabeled package via Fed-Ex

with a altitude detonator set to go off when the plane gets back down to 2000 feet.

Well, I hope they don't disclose their findings and tell everbody where is the best place to stand if you want to fire a shoulder held weapon.

assessments will be done at about 80 airports in coming weeks

Indeed, what should have been done on Sept. 12, 2001, has taken all these months of creating a large federal bureaucracy consuming hundreds of millions of dollars ... to plan to do ... somewhere in the future ...

The Pittsburgh Airport is one place it would be easy for them. The approach is right over a massive shopping complex. I'd guess their altitude to be several hundred feet as they pass over. I've had the thought dozens of times that an airliner would have no chance against an attack.

It's depressing to think they've only just begun to do this...

[Revelation 911]

I can envision a day when the govt says owners of structures within such and such zone need to advise the airport beforehand when you desire to access your roof top

Our shop is adjacent to the Air Natl Guard and our 2 story building is literally within 1/10th of a mile of the runway.

We were told to stay off the roof when the Blue Angels performed last year
