.....but 20 years...WTF?

"and it could be 20 years before every U.S. passenger airplane has such a system."

I can just hear the marketing people of airlines........ "our airline is the only one who protects you against terrorists."

Now if we just had airplanes that defend against terrorists inside. Then I'll be truly impressed.

Exactly my thoughts.

Why don't we just use standard counter-measures? It's nice to have all this Command & Conquer gadgetry, but it is expensive.

The point is that if we don't believe in the threat enough to pay an arm and a leg for a defense system against a threat which has yet to eventuate, the terrorists have won!

Duh....so has Air Force One and other aircraft. However, Israel pays for their airline to have it....the US govt won't.

If I take a first-aid class, does it mean the terrorists have won?
