Here's evidence why the gov't assholes overreacted.
It's come out that the C150 was squawking VFR. Why on F*g earth would a
pilot on a supposed suicide-bomb mission bother to have his damned transponder on, much less squawk 1200 while penetrating the ADIZ? Doesn't make sense. I believe I heard that the 9/11 hijackers knew enough to turn their transponders off. |

Our government is a mob of cowards, trampling the Constitution in a
stampede to ensure their personal safety... I have to believe that the original signers of the constitution, most of whom personally led charges into the smoking muzzles of british guns, would gag on what is happening today... They would spit on the yellow bellied congressmen who are allowing this to go on... The frantic flight yesterday of the people in the Whitehouse and the Congress only validates the beliefs of those who are willing to die for their cause, that we are weak, godless, and have surrendered the right to exist... When a society reaches the point that it is willing to put a 19 year old kid in a humvee in a foreign country and order him to drive down a road where he will be shot at, or blown up, while at the same time the 50 year olds who put him in that humvee are fleeing like rabbits because someone in a spam can Cessna got within ten miles of them, then it is clear that 'insurgents' have won the war even if the battles still go on... I feel sick, I have to stop now... denny |

Either a primary only return (remember the evacutation due to the birds?) or a 1200 squawk is bad news. I suspect, you'd be better off squawking 7700 than either of those codes in the ADIZ. There have been reports of people going to 1200 on the ground at ADIZ airports triggering investigations. |

The 51lb warhead that was used in the Davy Crockett nuclear mortar. It was an implosion-type plutonium design, with a user-selectable yield of 10 to 250t. It was designed and tested by the US, and 2100 of them were deployed between 1961 and 1971. The entire Davy Crockett round weighed 76lbs. It was the smallest nuclear weapon manufactured by the United States, and close to the theoretical smallest size for a nuclear weapon. Other weapons (artillery shells) of similar (1kt and less) which were slimmer have been made and tested by the US too. However, they are all accounted for. I doubt terrorists have had access to the technology or an actual bomb of this size (otherwise they'd have used it in lieu of commercial aircraft on Sept. 11th). A 'home made' terrorist nuke would likely be too large and too heavy to get into anything smaller than a B727. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
