Not to many places can handle a 747....besides he has to F-16's on his tail.....they'll smoke him he aims that bird toward a target.....he better not even deviate one inch.

how about an air force base? where is Edwards in relation to the flight path?

I guess what I am saying is, the F16s could intercept it if it veered off course, but it could veer at the last minute on the approach to LAX and hit alot of things, better to get it someplace else.

I would imagine he would need an order directly from the president to blow up a jetliner, they would have to be absolutely sure. Could you imagine the consequences of Blowing a plane out of the sky and find out it was for nothing. Maybe the president has delegated his authority to a general in the Air Force or something, i dont know, but I think it would take a while before the order would be given.
