Whats so silly? Should not buildings be armed with anti-aircraft
missiles? Why not? They are high value targets, planes come
in slow enough to take them out in time to protect your biggies.
We could have a city perimeter that is on no flight paths, then
just pop anything that comes in. Tragic loss of course, if Ma
and Pa Walton are buzzing skyscrapers in their 1947 Piper Cub,
but this is a new world and we cant chance it. Im not sure
what good an inflatable launcher would do, especially considering
a real launcher would cost less than a penny on the dollar the price
of a tall building, even ignoring the staggering cost of the brains
that would be lost in any attack. spike
