I was listening to Fox 4 News-Dallas last night. It seems that in light of recent events in Kenya, the Office of Homeland Security is urging airlines and airport administrations to be "on guard" for similar attacks.
That's nice.
HOW THE F_CK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT? I fly a Canadian-built fifty-seat jet. No chaff dispensers, no ALQ-144 "disco ball," no IR suppressors on the engines...heck, I don't even have a rearview mirror. "On guard?" Okay, even if I do see a missile coming, what do I do about it?
Here's an idea: how about if the airlines and airport administrations do their best to stay in business, and let the Office of Homeland Security actually try to do its job and keep the missiles from getting here in the first place?
Or wouldn't it be refreshing if the CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. would just come right out and said that they're totally incapable of keeping sh_t like this from happening?
(Okay, venting complete. I'm off to the shower...)
