They say here that two F-16 fighters fired warning shots.

Or maybe it wasn't a case of paranoia but rather a case of being better safe than sorry?

I don't think it is paranoia if they act with all means neccessary in such cases. That's their job. If it turns out that nothing serious did happen -- fine, but as long this isn't absolutely clear they better be careful.

I would suggest there's a certain amount of caution one should excercize in life.

I'm not gonna go walking around the hood at night flashing lots of cash. That doesn't make me racist or paranoid.

I think you've become overly paranoid since Sept. 11, but in this case, it was not paranoia. Planes have proven to be effective weapons, and another attack is entirely possible. Firing the alert when a plane enters the no-fly zone (which I bet all pilots know well) is pretty normal. It's like calling the anti-bomb team when someone abandoned his luggage in the airport.

I'm more worried about the report that Cheney was raced off in a limo, that can't be good for him if it happens too often.

I have seen the images on TV. Actually, I couldn't see anything. No planes, no fiery explosions, nothing. Just a cameraman running down the street capturing blurred images of the sky with his shaken camera.

Just like "The Blair Witch Project": you think that something is happening but there is nothing happening.
