A live, unarmed French missile was found at the Lakeland Linder International Airport, requiring evacuation and an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team to secure it. (www.tampabay.com) 更多...
I was a firefighter in New Mexico for a bit and somebody made an issue about this WWI artillery shell that hadn't been properly deactivated. Few guys came up from Kirkland with some C4 and we hauled this antique out to the woods and blew it up. Good day.

I know it is a A2A missile, but the thought of it or surface to air being in the wrong hands around/near airports is disturbing. One step up from lasers around airports...
The question now is, how did it end up in a civilian's hands overseas? If it is Jordanian, how did they let someone walk off with it? At least someone was aware enough to realize that it was a live munition. This company sounds like ATAC and Flight International at PHF.
France is one of the five "Nuclear Weapons States" under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Presently, France has 280 usable nuclear warheads.
I hope they're not going to just disassemble and put components in water so to speak. Hopefully someone will get to it at a target. Maybe a Somali pirate boat? LOL
I came home the other day and had some Amazon packages on the front porch and also a huge green missile shipping container. No idea where it came from. I am sure that is what happened to Draken, too, hence the mystery. They may want to review their receiving department.

Classmate is flying for them out of Lakeland -- https://www.facebook.com/NOAAHurricaneHunters/ -- as reference. Moved there are few years ago. No word from him if this bugged them or not, just a surprise not likely expected and it is that time of year....
So the NRA is in favor of people owning French missiles? The only thing that the TSA and DHS can't fight is rogue military, or up-weaponed police officers using shoulder fired missiles and RPG's.
This is going to be horrific if airport missile attacks start happening, but it would be a perfect opening for the authoritarians who want to scare the shit out of people to keep trump in office. When it happens, don't fall for it. The violence is happening BECAUSE of trump, and won't end if he's able to scare people back into office, and spook the election. Don't be sheep. Fight the BS!
Every time I think you can't possibly say anything stupider you prove me wrong. There is not a molecule of evidence for anything you wrote. You are really are hopeless.
