AF Flight intercepted on flight into LAX

[Stratocaster]

Well, for the last two years the USAF has been very busy every week, sometimes several times a week, in making "practice missile launches" on real airliners cruising in US airspace, and they don't ask any permission for that (I guess those missions won't go away in a near future). So what's the fuss with making practice intercepts without a letter signed by Mom and Dad ? At least the pax now have something to watch -uncensored- that does not fry their neurons !
