"This is a national emergency?" Yep! This IS a national emergency!
If this proves up to be the work of terrorists, we haven't seen the worst of it.
When our military gets involved, even in a support role, it IS a national emergency!
You Ayn Rand idiots can squawk and scream all you want to about the destruction of your individual liberties, but it won't do you a bit of good.
Our law enforcement will do what it takes to find and capture this monster(s).
Including....and this is laughable to me....having local LEO's on the surveillance aircraft to forward the information from the military on the plane....to those on the ground...because military are not allowed to act in a LEO capacity.
This is absolutely ridiculous. We're talking about someone speaking into a radio from the aircraft to the ground....and we have to add that layer of protection so no laws are broken. So..the military on the aircraft gets the information.....and tells the LEO on the plane....who tells the people on the ground. What utter B.S.
