Not sure how that would transate to airport security.

Big shiny jet, with large self propelled weapon slung underneath. ;)

Maybe he just means timed devices, like bombs or mortar tubes similar to those used by the IRA a few years ago.

It is if your target is holding a knife. :)

It's OK for me to comment however, I am "an embedded reporter".

I have been working with and have become like part of the family with a group called "Americans". They have accepted me as one of their own, and allow me the freedom to express my views... just like them.

 Lots of big shiney jets at KFS, however if I'd saw one heading over the fence line with an underslung stand off weapon...

a.  It wouldn't really be a standoff would it? The definition would be the jet should've launched it??
b.  Either way...it'd be a little totally tubular late to do anything :D

At least I can now go to work and feel good I'm doing my part..are you?

...would you like to know more?
