New York should have AAA and SAM batteries, like most third world
countries. There should be no way an airplane can enter New York City
at high speed that isn't identified. Any aircraft at the speeds given, at
such
a low altitude should be splashed before they enter a center of commerce.

I would have NYC ringed by Patriot batteries, and anything above 250 knots
that isn't on a flight plan should be terminated. Error on the side of those
on the
ground.

Using this criteria, I would have been shot down in the Spring of '97 (I think
??) due to no fault of my own, or anyone on my jet.

Well, I just pulled 250 knots out of my ass. Maybe there's a better number.
But yes, I would kill anything aimed at Manhattan that was tagged hostile by
the ADA Battery. We are pretty much accustomed to Friendly Fire deaths
now, and what the hell, you would get a possible purple heart, or get to
play with a real live parachute.
