The ultimate?
I feel that I am missing something here. Before anyone who knows me says "You silly old geriatric f**t!" I agree! However, who is the person who is going to order a firing (or Typhoon intercept.) at/of a hi-jacked airliner over London? I am confused!! (Unless it is targetted over Westminster!)
Thank you for your affirmation that I, too, am not a f****it, because it had also occurred to me that this whole missile system is the modern-day equivalent of a gorilla beating its chest, or a Zulu banging his shield: that is, utterly pointless.

Even allowing for the event of a hi-jacked 757 being pointed at Westminster or that dreadful McDonalds at the Olympic village, or the Olympics, shooting it down will achieve what exactly?
