Really?

Chartered plane.

Container ship.

Oil tanker.

None which go through customs or any US inspections until they are here...

Here is too late.

A chartered plane is the worst. Over any city USA air detonation. No customs. No inspections. Much more accurate and reliable than a missile and dirt cheap in comparison.

Plane’s just can’t fly in from overseas with no transponder and no prearranged flight plan.

I read a book 25 years ago or so that had CHina nuking NY using that method

It's not that easy anymore, DB. Not that it was ever easy, of course. Any over-water flights are picked-up by ATC and Military quite a ways out, and IFF is pretty rigid and unforgiving. Even more so after 9/11.

I got braced by a pair of F-4's returning from Canada many years ago. Detroit-Center said they were just taking a look. Scared-the-shit outa me.

From Mexico-way might be different considering all the drugs that are flown in, but they're down in the sand - not good for a sizeable jet ................................ FRegards
