Re: Superpowers distribute 750,000 shoulder-fired missiles, cook their own gooses
"Having sat on Pacific Coast Highway below the takeoff path of LAX jumbo jets, I can attest to the fact that they are literally just a few hundred feet above.

Most people in this neck of the woods continue to believe that that flight that went down over Long Island a few years ago was actually shot down...many witnesses saw a rocket go up and hit the plane. The government, of course, denies it. God forbid the airlines collapse. Meanwhile, that flight that went down over the Rockaways on 10/11/01 was obviously sabotaged...nobody wanted to question the paper-thin myth of both engines and the tail all falling off simultaneously..."that was a mean headwind!"

Reports today that commercial aviation is in dire danger of being grounded as freedom fighters deploy even a small fraction of the (estimated) 750,000 shoulder-fired missiles to down commercial airliners.
(Having sat on Pacific Coast Highway below the takeoff path of LAX jumbo jets, I can attest to the fact that they are literally just a few hundred feet above. Any van with a moonroof could trivially be set up to allow a pop shot at one of these 747s or 767s, leaving every couple of minutes.)
The U.S. and U.S.S.R. were handing these SFMs to any freedom fighter group that would temporarily swear allegiance to the CIA or KGB.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
I stopped flying in 2000.

The CIA's official explanation of the event, even to this layman, is aerodynamically impossible. Let me say that the TWA 800 coverup has a lot to do with my cynicism about what really happened on 9/11. (I have a copy of the Howard Stern show from that day, and chopper reporter that Howard fed in clearly reports a second, massive explosion just before the south tower collapsed. Speaking with an ironworker who worked on the cleanup only brought more questions as to the "real" cause of the collapses.) -Tim

The Feds spent a lot of time saying "We haven't proven it's not terrorists" "Just in case it's terrorists we'll impede your right to travel" "Could be terrorists, but we haven't definitively ruled it out" "Civil rights? What civil rights?" "Be afraid, it might have been terrorists" "No, we're not requiring the airlines to demand ID, that's voluntary" "Unabombers under the bed!" "Of course you need Gov't ID to travel" "Really, we're in control, trust us!" "Those aren't the civil rights you're looking for" "[expletive deleted]! Looks like it was an electrical problem on TWA800" "Give *what* civil rights back? You've *always* had to give ID to travel!" The real coverup was that the Feds didn't have the jurisdiction to impose travel controls on Americans, but they could get the airlines to claim that the Feds were requiring them to do it, which the airlines liked because it reduced the ability of travellers to resell cheap tickets, and that when the ostensible terrorists were accounted for (TWA800 was a genuine accident, and Teddy the K was caught), they weren't going to reduce their controls or lying, because they really *liked* controlling our travel.
