In a previous article, Cubdriver usenet AT danford DOT net said:
leads away from Portsmouth. Shortly thereafter a voice on the radio
says "We are conducting a sweep of the runway at this time." Gotta
love it: at this time! What were they looking for, debris from the
airliner's tires.

Not an unbelievable thing to do. Just ask the victims of the one and only
Concorde crash if they would have appreciated somebody doing a FOD sweep
after that Continental departure ahead of them?
