Whats a gyrocopter? Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he asked when he learned that one of those ultralight contraptions landed undetected by radar Wednesday on the West Lawn of the Capitol. ...
Johnson, speaking briefly to a small group of reporters Thursday, declined to elaborate because the facts are not in, but noted that, unlike the movie Independence Day, we dont have heat shields around our airspace.

afraid so..
He must have seen a different movie than I did.
Johnson is as incompetent as his boss, Obama. Affirmative Action run amuck in this Admin. I have yet to see what Johnson has done as head of DHS other than make useless political speeches and provide dem talking points. He is no more a leader than his boss, which is no leader at all.
Jeh got his start with the Clintons.
He’ll be well situated for a slot in the Hillary admin.
America's letter carriers have come to the House to Rust!
(Funnier if you remember to pronounce Mathais' last name with the proper German pronunciation "Roost")
He does not know or understand the technology that’s been oround since 1923 that Daddy WarBuck, Dick Tracy and James Bond had.
FACE-Palm!!!
They pretty much run that risk whenever moochelles caboose gets to close to an open flame.
You forgot Mad Max!
Exactly. Picked for one reason only.
Seeing as how it landed at the capitol, I don't understand your thought.
The guy gave an interview to the press here in Florida (he set out from Tampa) and a friend of his even called the Secret Service to warn them. The friend got voicemail, left a message, and nobody ever called him back.
Now, as much as I’d like to see the winged monkeys come in and carry off Obama so we’d never have to see his ugly face again, I think the Secret Service should at least pretend that they care. They get paid for it, after all.
This whole incident was really amazing.
Idiot!
we dont have heat shields around our airspace.
Double idiot!!
heat shields? i know dc has been out of touch, but are they really going to need to go through reentry to get back on track with America’s true path?
meanwhile, is there some reason we don’t have automated tracking & firing systems in the capital?
The moron can't even get his sci-fy straight.
What was “Little Nelly” in the James Bond movies?
All jokes aside, this guy just proved a NBC delivery system in the most restricted airspace in the nation.
