I hope you realize that when they say airport they don't mean a place where you can buy a neck pillow or rent a portable DVD player. Since Mr. Rumsfeld and Ashcroft have mentioned too us, airports aren't exactly our most vulnerable targets. Of course, since there is no reason that the system, even if it worked flawlessly, will ever be used - since it won't be designed to target a person in a crowd, and that an RPG or mortar or similar sized explosive will have a negligble effect on a commercial airport, AND that if our airports are under threat of true ballistic missles, well, then, we've got bigger problems than making sure Owen Wilson can get to LA fast enough to do the Daily Show and The Tonight Show back to back.
