If I shot down an airliner with a MANPAD off the coast, they would find me immediately. No boat would be unsearched,
Really? We have people stationed every few hundred feet ready to arrest people? Talk about a police state!
How DO all these rapists and murders operate with such vast coverage? Oh I see. These people stationed every few hundred feet are trained only to apprehend people who fire manpads or some other missile...something very common and drilled for daily.
Of course perhaps due to good planning they got to International waters...or the local pizza hut long before anyone zeroed the launch site. It’s called escaping a dragnet and it happens.
Occam’s Razor indeed.
