Even The Biggest Power in The World is unable to protect military trafic at Baghdad Airpot....what could they do anywhere else?
It has been learned by generations of Pilots : you have to descend to land.
On approach/take-off, in many, many, many places ( even in USA!) you are in the range of many types of anti-aircraft weapons.
But don't worry Airports vicinity has been checked and sealed by TSA.
Everything's OK !
