76. This is turning into an unsavory habit
Why I continue to even respond is a mystery. But I'll indulge myself one more time.

Every time large amounts of cash move around they are guarded.

Are they? Guarded by who? I know on the ground they are guarded, are they in flight?

PRECISELY BECAUSE FOUR PLANES HAVE JUST BEEN HIJACKED,

Now I'm not a financial guy, but I'm pretty sure the money was being moved because there were fears that other financial institutions may be attacked. Not because airplanes were hijacked. I sort of doubt moving 25 billion dollars in a day via air is a routine affair no matter if it's 9/11 or not. Also if my memory serves correctly it was not a request to move all this money on 9/11 only to get the 200 flights approved.


what kind of plane would you use?

I'm not a expert on jets, but I kinda doubt F-16's or other varieties of fighter jets are well suited to transport large volumes of cash. Hard to imagine the payload spec including storing a few billion on board just in case it's needed.

Lared tell us, did Bush enjoy the protection of fighter jets while cruising around the national airspace on September 11, 2001?

I watch a bit of a show last night that indicated that true. Why you find this intriguing is well --- intriguing.

Lared, tell us, do we have ANY bases WHATSOEVER with fighter jets ready to defend us TODAY?

Jeez I hope so.
