Customs has been doing aerial intercept of aircraft for years, primarily
from an anti-drug standpoint. There are two based here in suburban
Houston, and we have had them as a speaker before (pre-9/11) regarding
their ops (safety meeting/PR material)

What were they doing? They were tracking the target. Just like they
always do.

Thanks. I guess I missed that. These newsgroups should be required
reading for every pilot. :-)
