re: #39 lawhawk

On cue, Sen. Cruz announces he will hold all nominees for the State Department until he gets answers on the FAA stop order.

oh, FFS.

I support the FAA decision. If geese can bring down a plane, piddly little rockets can do it too. Balloons for that matter.

Bloomberg decided in a show of support and trust in the safety of the airport that he’d fly there… but notice he flew El Al. The one airline in the world with countermeasures to protect against rockets significantly more powerful than what Hamas is using. El Al probably could have survived what happened to M17… but no other civilian airline in the world has those measures.

Let’s take note that Bloomberg didn’t fly to Israel in his own, very ordinary Learjet.

(and Kerry’s flight was a military plane)
