Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon that U.S. military forces are on alert for attacks by portable missiles.

I don't wear tin hats. I do have this observation. I work in a building located near Pittsburgh airport. Landing planes come almost right overtop of us at an altitude of several hundred feet. Normally you can watch the horizon and see these planes approach on a straight path from several miles out. For the last 2 weeks, their approach habit has changed. They zig. They zag. They come in from the opposite direction and bank almost wings vertical to line up for the runway. The thought crossed my mind that maybe they knew something the rest of us didn't. Maybe this explains it.

2 or 3 days ago I saw a flight way out of the normal flight path leaving Houston Hobby and at an unusually low altitude. It stuck out like a sore thumb.

Hmmm, seeing how I live in da burgh, you would think that there would be news of planes banking "wings vertical" immediately prior to landing.....

Maybe you should stop drinking at work....

why shoot down a landing aircraft? A fully loaded 747 leaving for the Far East would be the ideal target. Three quarters of a million pounds of fuel, aircraft and people crashing into a crowded area would be a terrorists ideal statement. Throw in some car bombs outside a few terminals at the same time and the air travel industry is history.
