56. You said a number of radar sites connected to one HOST,
and redundant data from multiple sites was resolved by the HOST.

But at Merrimack we had a situation where (allegedly) one bad antenna
created false blips that fouled up the whole system for two days.

The four hijacked planes were, yes, tracked over a number of different
regions, through many different radat sites, and many systems.

But if Merimack's one antenna can foul up a whole region, it seems to me
that two antennae in different regions could foul up the whole air
defense. Was anybody going to say... "well, no other regions saw it,
and therefore that blip doesn't exist"?
