Passenger jets get anti-missile devices
WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of airline passengers will soon be flying on jets outfitted with anti-missile systems as part of a new government test aimed at thwarting terrorists armed with shoulder-fired projectiles. Three American Airlines Boeing 767-200s that fly daily round-trip routes between New York and California will receive the anti-missile laser jammers this spring, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which is spending $29 million on the tests.

What a waste of money!
so...are finally admitting that the loss of TW800 was not a fuel tank problem???
It will keep people from whining about how we aren't keeping them safe in the air.
What about heat seeking missles? Like the recent attempted shootdown of a DHL Airbus A300 in Baghdad.
