Here's how you'll blip on CC radar...

1st can - No trace, stealth mode (Asking for 2 cans at once - Immediate paint and assumed hostile)
2nd can - Faint blip, assumed to be friendly
3rd can - Solid paint, assumed friendly
4th can - Solid paint, checked against known air traffic
5th can - SAM sites alerted - Your Clue "Another Beer Sir? Certainly but it may take me a few minutes to get back to you"
6th can - SAM radar lock-on, initial radio contact on Guard Frequency - Your Clue "Gosh, you really like Beer! I brought you some crisps and nuts to go with it"
7th can - Interceptors launched, DEFCON 1 - Your Clue - "Please make this one last an hour Sir, and then we'll take another look: May I make you a cup of coffee?")
8th can - SAM Launch - Your Clue "I'm afraid the bar is closed for a while: Have a nap and I'm sure that we'll be able to serve you when you wake up"

Requests for chasers at any point, alcohol before take-off or any kind of attitude at any point in the above process are grounds for immediate transition to 6th can level.
