This is all one needs to know from that info sheet.........

"Understanding the problem in 2003, Colin Powell remarked that there was “no threat more serious to aviation” than the missiles, which can be used to shoot down helicopters and commercial airliners, and are sold illegally for as little as a few hundred dollars."

I'm hoping we care a lot more about the carnage on the ground than the terrorist do. Kelly doesn't seem to be taking that into consideration given that it would be very difficult or impossible to bring down a commercial aircraft within 30 miles of Manhattan and not kill a slew of innocent folks. IMO his comment was stupid and irresponsible.

Whew, for a second there I thought they were using birds leftover from the US Airways 'incident'. Always figured that was a training exercise.
