could well happen ... what we ought to do is to air drop food/water supplies on a wide perimter around the outskirts of port au prince causing the mobs to spread out and get away from the airport.
Your idea has more merit than most I've seen. It's beginning to appear that we can't get enough security in place to stop the gangsterism fast enough to get the food, water, and basic necessities to the needy.
Better to inundate the countryside outside of Port-Au-Prince with airdropped supplies. Let the gangs take what they want. The concept is to drop so much that the needy get what they need, despite the gangs.
Great idea, TRG.
