NORAD Orders Deletion Of ADIZ Meeting Transcript
Were National Security Issues At Stake?

National security... or
outright censorship?

Is it censorship to protect security interests?

Is it censorship to not publish weaknesses of security measures?

Looking for a sig the
lawyers will hate



Anyone with an IQ over 5.4 can figure out the total ineffectivness of the
ADIZ. In this case it is censorship in an attempt to hide goverment
incompetence.



Plus, any idiot with a map, ruler, and pencil can easily come up with
the same 4 minute estimate from Dulles final approach to downtown DC.

Such idiocy is hardly new; two examples:

During the Cold War, some "patriot" attempted to classify the Army's
peanut butter purchases to prevent the Soviet Union from figuring out
what the Army's strength was.

Only problem with that is the Army's troop strength is public record.

In an aerospace program I worked on, another "patriot" classified the
connectors used in a system to prevent "the enemy" from figuring out
what the system was used for.

Only problem with that was the connectors were commercial, off-the-shelf
and used in zillions of commercial and DOD applications.
