this salon premium article about the threat of shoulder-mounted missile attacks on commercial airliners covers a subject that i've mulled in my head while out walking, since i live under one of the flight paths into burbank airport. i'm pretty shocked this hasn't become a common type of terrorist attack, since it seems like it would be nearly impossible to defend against.

anyway, it's worth clicking through the four-part mercedes ad to get the free day of salon premium access to check the article out.
