That’s all a fighter jet can do: control the crash location.

May I be more explicit for the benefit of those in Rio Linda?

It is perfectly acceptable to shoot down an American passenger aircraft and kill 200-300 people in the process, but...

It is not permissible to inconvenience foreign killers, foreign nationals, by giving them special security attention before boarding, in our own country.

Check.
Got it.

Yep, you’ve grasped it!

Call me crazy but I am finding it a little more disturbing that they are calling out the calvary with every other incident. At least with just some crazed Jihadists, we have a chance of the passengers intervening and it turning out OK.

Not so much with missiles flying at the plane.

Just insane that it has come to this.
