And here's a counterpoint to all that:

So you're telling me that NASA has state-of-the-art, multi-million (or even billion) dollar satellites measuring real-time 3D data...

Well, for consolation here's a picture of me on said mount. GOD I WAS SKINNY THEN

How about: If you're in an ultralight, just STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM LONDON DURING THE OLYMPICS.

Target practice might seem wasteful, but not nearly as wasteful as us all dying when we actually have to shoot for real, but can't aim for crap.

And then, if that weren't enough, they ejaculate all over our cars in the spring. Those bastards.

< How terrorists see security.

Meh, there was a video floating around years ago, but I've long since lost track of it.

All of those were stopped because they a) were incompetent, b) talked too much, or c) bit off way more than they could chew. '96 was a lone security guard with a plan he kept to himself and - more importantly - carried out himself. It's a nearly indefensible combination, no matter what London would like you to think.…

News Flash: If somebody really, really wants to bomb the olympics, nothing London can do is going to stop it.

Funny how you say "I get to say what I like even if you don't like it," then get offended when I do exactly the same thing. Something to think about.

I SEE YOU OWN THE INTERNET

Is it just me, or have the Olympics recently become a proxy for the advancement of a police state? I mean, how in God have the Olympics survived for 100+ years without fighter jets prowling the grounds!

If your aircraft is so badly damaged that a) your radios don't work or can't tune to GUARD, b) your IFF transponder is inoperable or unable to tune to 7777 or 7700, and c) you cannot establish enough attitude control to rock your wings back once, you are going to hit the ground at a high rate of speed whether the…

Radios can tune to literally tens of thousands of different frequencies; if the intercepting aircraft and intercepted aircraft are on different frequencies, no communication will occur. Wing rocking is a universally understood gesture that works on all frequencies. An aircraft intercepting you rocking its wings says,…

Anybody who's ever been through an Audiogram (as I have, many many many times) can attest that your heartbeat and breathing suddenly become the loudest fucking things on the planet.

>I await your apology for your condescension and knee-jerk reaction.

It's not like it's new. I got to take part in sinking a derelict boat once while I was on the .50 cal crew of an aircraft carrier. We happened upon it, already capsized, and called the Coast Guard so that they might come out and, you know, do something about it. They said, in essence, "Finders keepers!" So we used it…
