If you have a complaint about the Posse Comitatus Act, take it up with the folks who enacted it into law.

Then tell me, whenever Bush scrambles a couple of Air Force fighters to shadow an airliner suspected of having a terrorist on board, is that a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act?

Yes, if it's not done in the way Congress has provided for elsewhere in US law regarding national defense.

As I pointed out, your complaint is with Congress. Thank you very much for demonstrating an abject inability to read.
