That is because FR is on top of things!

If that was an advanced missile headed toward Tel Aviv...they have to check it for WMD payloads, etc. No need to tell people who will all head out there to check it out.

I dunno, that' what I always do when I want to view an animated GIF that I've downloaded. Not sure why IE blocked the content, and I don't have time to get into it. If you do a google search on "Internet Explorer Content Blocked" you might find an answer. I'm familiar with Outlook blocking content, but IE not so much.

Mostly used in the aircraft industry. Expecially the new fighters and bombers. Probably a lot in the commercial craft as well.
