Why do terrorists always mess around at election time? First they mailed explosive devices all over the place (probably as a diversionary tactic) and now NORAD has escorted a U.A.E. passenger plane into JFK airport in New York.
NORAD is escorting a passenger flight from the United Arab Emirates to New York’s JFK airport “out of an abundance of caution,” a NORAD spokesman said.
Two Canadian CF-18s began to track a civilian aircraft that was “determined to be an aircraft of interest” as it flew over Canadian airspace, spokesman John Cornelio said.
Two US F-15s then picked up the escort to JFK, which is ongoing.
I’d rather be talking about Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, and Ken Buck.
Still, stopping acts of terrorism is preferable to standing on rubble with a bullhorn.
