firing a high-powered combat rifle in an airport could do more harm than good

[Formatted for legibility, line wrapping. Please take the few moments necessary to ensure posted material is readable. KMSelf] Notice how its not an evil "assault rifle" but a "combat rifle" now... http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-000079569oct05.story?coll=la%2Dheadlin… RESPONSE TO TERROR L.A., S.F. Airports to Get National Guard Safety: Soldiers armed with loaded M-16s will boost security, starting today. The rifles will be fired as a last resort, a spokesman says. By PETER Y. HONG, TIMES STAFF WRITER National Guard troops with M-16 assault rifles are to report for guard duty at Los Angeles International and San Francisco airports today, in a move Gov. Gray Davis called "a symbol of the changes that have occurred at airports to enhance passenger safety." But experts warn--and Guard officials acknowledge--that the show of force against terrorism must be executed with great care to avoid harming those it is meant to protect. John Reppert, a retired Army general who is a research center director at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, said the presence of the National Guard may be most important as a symbol. "Frankly, in my opinion, the reason they are there is to restore confidence to the public," Reppert said. Carrying M-16s, for instance, is useful for intimidating wrong-doers and reassuring skittish travelers, he said. But actually firing a high-powered combat rifle in an airport terminal could do more harm than good. "I would not want soldiers to use an M-16 in a public place," Reppert said. "Opening fire in an airport terminal is dramatically different from doing so in a village." The harder bullet used by the assault rifle is more likely to ricochet than a round fired from a pistol, Reppert said, which could harm bystanders. It might even be wise to keep the M-16s unloaded, Reppert said. "As a commander, I would be very nervous about a soldier carrying a loaded gun. For one thing, he might drop it." It is also "unlikely people are going to come in and try to shoot their way to an airplane," he said. It is common for soldiers on guard duty to keep their guns unloaded, with ammunition ready in a pouch. The sentries guarding the USS Cole when it was bombed in October 2000 told the Washington Post they did not have ammunition in their guns, and did not think it made a difference in the surprise attack. But Maj. General Paul D. Monroe Jr., the top officer of the California National Guard, said the M-16s carried at LAX will be loaded. To fire the weapon, the soldier must charge it by pulling a handle and then release the safety mechanism, a process that takes about two seconds, Monroe said. Maj. Stanley Zezotarski, a California National Guard spokesman, noted, however, that Guard troops would fire their weapons only as a last resort, and would typically let armed airport police officers take the lead in situations where shots might be fired. Guard troops today use their weapons sparingly, he said, pointing out that 22 shots were fired by the National Guard during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, though more than 20,000 were fired by the Guard in the 1965 Watts riots. <snip>

Another Bin Laden Bird, with note about a failed '98 launch
by Dynamite Bob 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGAM3FAROSC.html CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - A secret satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office rocketed into space amid heightened security. Wednesday night's launch was the third in just over a month of a classified NRO satellite, and had been scheduled long before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. For security reasons, the Air Force did not reveal the exact time of Wednesday's launch until 1 1/2 hours before the 10:32 p.m. liftoff. No details about the satellite were given out. But Aviation Week & Space Technology, a trade magazine, reported that the payload was a data-relay satellite designed to transfer images and other information from U.S. spy satellites to the CIA and the Defense Department. "Our motto at the 45th Space Wing is, control of the battlefield starts here," Air Force Maj. Michael Rein said from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station launch site. The satellite was hoisted into orbit by an Atlas rocket, made by Lockheed Martin Corp. ........... http://www.fas.org/irp/news/1998/08/980829-mercury.htm xploded Satellite Was To Track Osama Bin Laden CBS EVENING NEWS CBS TV 7:00 PM AUGUST 29, 1998 __________________________________________ PAULA ZAHN: America's justification for a strike on a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan two weeks ago is now being questioned by some experts. U.S. officials have revealed few details of the strike in retaliation for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. But the New York Times reports some statements have proved to be inaccurate or misleading. Such as, the plant was apparently not a high-secret facility. The plant did produce commercial products, including medicine. And alleged terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden's financial role in the plant was apparently overstated. Still, U.S. officials say the target was the right one. And they say Bin Laden, the exiled Saudi millionaire, poses a direct threat to the U.S. Tracking his activities has not been easy. And Jim Stewart tells us, that effort recently met a major setback. JIM STEWART: On the face of it, you'd think there was no connection between those August 7th explosions at two U.S. embassies in east Africa and this explosion one week later off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. But private intelligence analysts now believe that the spy satellite aboard that doomed Titan-4 missile was destined to listen in on the private conversations of Osama Bin Laden. The very man believed responsible for the African bombings. JAMES BAMFORD [Satellite Intelligence Expert]: It would have given us a much better opportunity to eavesdrop on communications in that area of the world. Because that satellite was designed to be placed over Africa. And one of its target areas would have been the Middle East and Afghanistan. STEWART: Analysts say Bin Laden, although he lived among Afghanistan's revolutionary leaders in a rugged country, was particularly vulnerable to such eavesdropping. He conducted much of his business using encrypted cell phones and fax machines over a private satellite channel. Just the sort of communications the new Mercury spy satellite, with it's football field-sized antenna, is designed to pick up. JOHN PIKE [Satellite expert]: He can use couriers that can move money around in bales of $100 bills. But at the end of the day, they're going to have to use some modern communications technology, and we can track him when he does. STEWART: Counter-terrorism experts at the C.I.A. and National Reconnaissance Office have been pouring over Bin Laden intercepts from older satellites ever since the World Trade Center bombing, when the arrest of the bomb maker in that case, Ramses Youseph, led them straight back to Bin Laden. The man who bankrolled the whole thing. All of which explains why finding Bin Laden and keeping up with his communications remains such a high priority. And why losing that billion-dollar spy satellite two and a half weeks ago off Florida is causing such a major headache for the U.S. intelligence community. Jim Stewart, CBS News, Washington. On Sept. 8, another Atlas rocket delivered an NRO satellite to orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Last week, a Titan IV rocket launched another NRO satellite, also from Vandenberg.
