Interesting.

What's probably not common knowlegde (and probably wasn't known by the attackers) was that portable GPS units don't function particularly well in the cockpits of commercial airliners. The heated cockpit windows prevent portable GPS units from locking on to the satellite signals they need to function.

I still maintain that THIS is one of the reasons for the delay in the Iraqi war---not that our troops aren't ready, but that Homeland Security apparently still is concerned that it isn't ready for the retaliatory strikes that will occur. I could be wrong---and hope I am---but to me this is a scarier scenario that even the idea that Bush thinks he has to "go to the UN."
