AVweb's account of this incident is funny: people shouting "To the
basement!
To the basement!" F-15 fighters being launched. Officers shouting to women
to take off their shoes so they can run faster. People screaming "One
minute
to impact!"

All of this for an airplane with a transponder problem -- never mind that
ATC knew all along who it was and the plane never lost radio contact.
Gives
you something to think about the next time these chickens start referring
to
terrorists as 'cowards.'

In fact, if I was the DNC, I would showing video of this over and over, with
commentary like "If this is how they react to the governor of Kentucky, how
much good will they be when al-Qaeda attacks?" and generally calling into
question the manhood of the Republican party. It could mean the end of the
GOP as we know it.
