#1 added measures DHL was taking

Hard left, hard right, hard left again, steep climb to beyond visual range... easy.

#2 Perhaps we could offer DHL a new service. When we snarf up a particulary hardcase close-mouthed jihadi, he goes into a pool. Each departing aircraft gets the appropriate number of jihadis from the pool which are shackled in place, draping them over the engine exhausts, for a reduced IR signature. Win-win.

#3 .com, I was thinking more like sticking a lit flare in their ass and dispersing at random altitudes to confuse the heatseekers

#4 Oooh - good one. Works for me!

I'm still in favor of controlling the media, so AFP and Al Jizz and all of the other complicit asshats would be either deported or, if they failed to report for deportation, treated as jihadis. This would enhance aircraft security, too.

Whatever it takes. ;-)

#5 Hmm... Just read on BuzzMachine yesterday that Jeff Jarvis sent Zeyad (Healing Iraq) a digital camera via FedEx, and that postage was almost as much as the camera, so I wonder the rates are to ship something to Baghdad that's not an APO/FPO address?

#6 You're a creative bunch. I was just going to hire the jihadis as missle catchers.

Put 'em on a tow rope behind the aircraft on takeoff and see how fast they can run. When the plane gets to 10,000 feet, release the towline and let them parachute down (we don't want to be cruel, now). Repeat as required...

#7 Perhaps DHL can have French journalists ON every flight into and out of Baghdad Int'l...
