God bless the boys of Texas' 147th Fighter Wing for protecting the skies of southeast Texas from. . . . . what, exactly?
NORAD notified the 147th Fighter Wing Texas Air National Guard at Ellington Field to scramble two F-16 fighter jets about 2:15 p.m. after the New York plane crash, said 1st Lt. Ramsey Hammad, 147th spokesman.

Two pilots who were on call at the base were airborne within five minutes of the call.

They are flying in the region to perform whatever task NORAD asks them to do. Primarily, they would be given missions along the Gulf Coast.
Wow, I feel safe. Gotta give it to NORAD and our Federal Government for doing a bang up job of protecting its citizens from five year old threats.

Wait, is there any way we can blame this one on the Tigers winning on Saturday? If the $200 million attention whores from the Bronx were still in the playoffs, this probably would have never happened. Nah, most Americans would rather see another attack than see the Yankees in the Series again.
