Confiscate their booze and cigarettes.

History Channel - May 15th
(Don't know when it's on again)

"The Hurricane That Saved London"

(From the show page)
Only one fighter plane ever crashed in the streets of London during WWII,
and the story of the crash is the stuff of novels. We join a team of
excavators, at a busy intersection just blocks from Buckingham Palace, that
is about to uncover what remains of it. We also get the firsthand account of
the crash from the doomed plane's pilot Ray Holmes, who is still alive to
tell his story. While defending London from Nazi attacks, Holmes rammed his
fighter plane into a German bomber in a desperate attempt to deflect the
bomber from its target--Buckingham Palace. It worked, but not before Holmes
lost control of his own plane and was forced to eject.

Hurricanes had ejection seats? I learn something new here every day. G

Come on, he was quoting the History Channel. It's been my experience
that you can expect to see a few aviation faux pas in their programs
every now and then.

Yes, it had one of those newfangled Beatfeet Industries ejection seat, whose
single electrical component was a lightbulb on the instrument panel above a
placard that read "And now for something completely different!"

They were just practicing. Customs is working to try to take over enforcement of
the ADIZ from the FAA. Representative Mark Souder of Indiana tried to add an
ammendment to the HS bill to give them control over it.

Think about this folks....Customs patrols the borders where the ADIZ is supposed to be...our gov't is so confused that
it thinks it has a country inside our country, thus the ADIZ around DC. So the Customs plane was simply protecting the
border inside the border...

But are they protecting DC from the rest of the country or the rest of the
country from DC... Personally, I would prefer it to be the latter...
