DArn I just realized you were talking about the missle, used to knock down aircraft.

Oh well you should have seen the sidewinders I saw in the VOD.

I got in an arguement with some hazmat folks over transporting reactive armor by aircraft. They had wrapped themselves around the axle worrying whether the steel backing plates would present a shrapnel hazard to the aircraft.

My acerbic "If you have high explosive detonating inside an aircraft, then by definition you're already having a bad day" stopped the meeting for about 10 minutes waiting for the laughter to stop while the hazmat folks tried to regroup themselves!
