". . .two weeks ago."

Glad to see the Air Force guys are on the job.

I'm bothered though that the plan for keeping people safe in the nation's capitol is a lot of officals screaming "Run for your lives!"

Yes, how do they get that far? And how did Mrs. Bush end up in such danger? And the grenade? Who's in charge here?

I've thought about that, and I like "run for your lives" as a plan; it's natural and very easy to employ.

If there had been designated areas to assemble, all that prep would be useless as would our best "safety" zones. Imagine the party Newsweek would've had with that.

I agree. You'd think by now the Capitol would have a plan for this kind of thing. What about "air raid" sirens or something?

Sleep tight America, your Air National Guard is on duty. The ANG runs the Northeast Air Defense Sector and the fighters protecting DC are from the DC ANG based at Andrews AFB. (Usually, other units may rotate detachments in and out).

That short recess in the Senate after cloture on the Owens nomination passed was reportedly due to this incident.

The mighty Cessna 150! The airplane that brought the capital of the world's most powerful nation to its knees! Two seats, 26 gallons of gas, 100 HP and 90 knots of SCREAMING TERROR! Millions flee before it!
