Nice job, CNN.

Hasn't hit Fox yet--they are still riveted to Michael Jackson :-)


Just hit Fox--they performed true-to-form.

"he even flew next to a nuclear power plant"


Did he fly next to a nuclear power plant? There's nothing wrong with
reporting the facts even though we may not like to admit that the facts
are the facts.

It sounds like this guy was as dumb as they come, yet the authorities
exercised restraint and didn't blow him out of the sky.

CBS apparently thought he should have been shot down, and then they'd be
running a story about how the government should have exercised restraint
because the guy wasn't a real threat.

As for GA airport security, I must admit that I am disappointed, at
least in some of the airports in my area. Many larger GA fields here
don't even have perimeter fencing, and many of those that do have
operable gates that aren't operating. Some of those airports who have
tried operating the gates have ended up with dead gate motors because
the morons who are using their hangars as personal storage for
everything but an airplane are staking the gates open so that they can
more easily move in and out. The bottom line is that if the small
fields don't get a grip on REASONABLE security, one of these days
something bad is going to hb_men and there is going to be UNREASONABLE
over-reaction.
