The whole thing is plain stupid! Given the safety record of the
shuttle, why would a terrorist bother with it?

Symbolism, same as any other target.

Also, a thirty mile diameter prohibited area? Give me a break!

You just be grateful it's just a *T*FR; there are folks at CCAFS who
want to make it permanent.

Names, please? Maybe we can get them to take early retirement.

Too many to list. And not just to protect the shuttle; they are concerned
about all the national assets in the KSC/CCAFS complex.

They sound like the "Chicken Littles" who live on houses surrounding
airports -- little concept of reality and a lot of unfounded fear.

If they have their say, they are working for the terrorists, in that
they are killing our freedom.



It used to be nice to be able to fly down the Shuttle runway (when
there were no Shuttles about).

Get a job flying a zero-G aircraft; they are allowed commercial use of the
shuttle landing facility.
