and say they are taking steps to “protect against foreign intelligence collection.”

I think the best way to protect against foreign intelligence collection, would be if it wasn’t there in the first place.

They are hard targets. No radar crossection and the cellular structure, immune to gunfire.

Maybe it’s delivering thousands of little white cartons of Chinese food.

If it said MAGA on it in big red letters it’d be a smoking hole in the ground by now. 😏

I understand from the current Pentagon response that they wouldn’t mind shooting it down if it was over the ocean, but right now it might fall on someone’s head and kill or injure them.

Since they figured the balloon can’t get much more information than a satellite, so no big risk then they won’t shoot it down while it is above populated areas.

Better yet, how did it get loose in the US? I think it was prepared and set loose in the US. Nobody is telling us that

It could have something lethal in it,

It didn’t get there undetected, we have been monitoring it for days.
