Just like the other 2200 or so other scrambles that NORAD has done since 9/11/01. Agreed, freedoms are being compromised
at every turn, so the murderers seem to be winning, but the constitution is strong. Just look at the ruling going
against the administration on so many fronts...

Are the courts actually ruling against the administration? I haven't
heard that.

Does this frighten anyone else?

Actually, it doesn't frighten me.

Is CNN a source information or not? Why would you want NORAD
to NOT use a source of information?

Was the aircraft on a flight plan? If not, would you expect NORAD
to know the aircraft's intentions?

What is the downside of scrambling? It's not like they gave any
order to shoot.

Do you expect NORAD to have this magic sensor array where
they know the whereabouts of every single airborne target?

I don't think so. Then again, I lived in a city where the papers can't
even get a presidential election winner right.

It's common in a big NOC (Network Operations Center, i.e. where they
monitor and control big data and phone networks) to have CNN playing all
the time. Traffic spikes in Chicago, and you start trying to figure out
why. CNN shows film of a big fire in Chicago, and you've got your answer.

Look at it this way. You call FSS and get an official briefing which
sounds pretty benign, so you decide to go flying. On your way out to the
ramp, you pass the TV in the FBO that's tuned to CNN and find out that
there's a line of severe thunderstorms heading your way.

It's a no brainer, right? FSS is the official information source, and
CNN's just CNN, right?

Shucks, hardly anyone ever gets that right - not the constitution, not the
U.S. Supreme Court, and not the voters.

Misinformation for the most part.

I sincerely hope that is not true.

Exactly, we ought to be launching the fighters at any sign of trouble. I'm
sure the F16 pilots won't mind.

Have you checked the cost of launching the fighters?
