"He that would give up essential liberty for a little security deserve neither liberty nor security." (Or something close to that.) He also said, in the same paragraph, "The only way to preserve liberty is to never be secure.", (meaning: complacent. just as the US was pre 9/11.) I disagree with your interpretation that "never be secure" means "complacent". It could be just the opposite, to mean "responsibly vigilant", or "know what's going on around you". It's not necessary to impose on our freedoms to achieve this state of mind. Neil |

John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) By giving the on-site defense forces an area where they are authorized to use deadly force, with or without the use of a warning shot. Who is to say there isnt going to be CIWS on a pedestal out there that is LIVE.. I would hate to be on the recieving end of a volley from one of them. Dave |

You idiots that don't top post or quote hundreds of lines of text understand that you are simply wasting bandwidth, don't you? I LIKE TOP POSTING as well, because that's where my screen sends me for each post - to the top. Small quotes above the new post are OK, so long as I can see part of the fresh post on my screen without having to scroll for it. However ....people seem to prefer bottom posting, so I bottom post - don't like it, but I do it. It is my suspicion that top posting fans are the silent majority :-) I hope we can all agree that people need to TRIM THEIR POSTS!!! (It's to the point that if it happens - great!! If not - oh well) Isn't June National Top Posting Month at rec.aviation? If not, it should be. It's only 1 month out of 12 ....for now. g Montblack |

By giving the on-site defense forces an area where they are authorized to use deadly force, with or without the use of a warning shot. A prohibited area does no such thing. Even assuming deadly force was available, this particular prohibited area isn't large enough to afford the theoretical deadly force to be engaged in time to "protect" against an airplane. Pete |
