Naa, how about the lasers they want to put up around D.C.?


Turning up the juice might vaporize the pilot, but we still want to save the
plane. I think we gotta have the tractor beam! Either that, or the remote
access code, to take over the controls and land the plane.

That's a variation of my theory of exporting military aircraft. Each
should have a built in bomb. If the Indians and Pakistanis each have
F-16s, for example, and decide to go to war we push a button. This
accomplishes two things: it stops any bombing/airwar and they will need
to buy new aircraft.
