lomapaseo and Pontius, thanks.
The suggestion isn't mine....
But getting rid as much of possible of the "locals" and hopefully changing their flightpaths (even for some of the residents) doesn't seem beyond the wit of man. I don't consider that as 'too simplistic'.
It won't eliminate the high-altitude strikes and it might not even have avoided this one either (which was at about 3000 ft). But it would reduce the total number of strikes, if pursued sensibly and agressively.
On a lighter note, if they continue to "go forth and multiply", as they seem to be doing, how long will it take for them to overtake us humans? Isn't it high time we started eating them, rather than the few remaining fishes in the sea?
