I talked to a Swede that worked Area down in UAE 2-3 years back, and he says that the US Navy is a much bigger threat to comercial aviation then the terrorist b@stards will ever be.
But as long as it's not US comercial aviation, it probably is not much of an argument.
(Supposedly fun when the yanks launch carrier based aircraft right info a busy airway, less then 1 mile seperation at same level in IMC is close enough, a least when it happens a lot during one shift.......)
