20,000 SAMS MISSING

[UserRemoved1]

concern elevated? Can you say pucker? yikes

Don't matter if 10 are missing. Holy fried jumbo jet batman

Spence read what I said. Many are missing.

The article specifically says "HRW estimates there are 20,000 surface-to-air missiles in Libya, and many of those are now missing."

Define MANY then for us. Cuz it's more than one or two, more than a few, more than a few dozen, more than a gross, more than 1/2 cuz otherwise they would have said up to half are missing...it's less than all of them, so it's roughly 5/8-3/4 of them?

Dood you better start taking the train on your business trips cuz I can guarantee you these will make it into the US.

Thousands.

Folks guarding the borders have done a bang up job of keeping things like that out for a long time know. You can be sure there are more out there and have been out there other than the ones from Libya. The shoulder fired ones generally cannot bring down commercial aircraft. Secret Service deployed a bunch around DC after 9-11, but they new they were pretty much pea shooters if another jet liner was inbound on the capital or white house. They would need to shoot out all the engines to bring one down. The preceding is not nearly alarmist enough for the general media these days though.

Watch out for your "neighbor" loading a boatload of propane tanks or fertilizer into the back of his SUV though.
