The entire thing is just an extension of the craven mentality that roughs up 80yr old grannys at Heathrow in the name of "security"
It is nothing to do with that, neither are the unuseable missiles and fighters. It is a ploy by our spineless political "leaders" to deflect public opinion in the event of something nasty happening that will enable them to claim "look at the exclusion zone and all those fighters and missiles,we did all we could, it wasnt our fault". The fact that none of them are worth a practical jot isnt important.
They might just as well deploy polaris submarines for all the good they do to stop terrorists attacking the Olympics.
This is preventative publicity, pure and simple. Nothing more. Nothing less.
But none the less shameful for that.
Im with Firebird, lets get the Turbulent team or something equally innocuous - Tiger Moths perhaps, to do a formation flypast. That should be a route to living immortality!
