Hawk,
If things turn nasty in Afghanistan... Heavy-handed hit-and-run operations by US stormtroopers and the like... It might trigger similar suicide hijackings elsewhere. So, how about the following "panic scenario":

Some Muslim Brothers hijacked an EgyptAir Boeing full of European tourists: departing airport, Cairo, Destination, say, Hotel King David in Jerusalem (I guess it's a matter of 20 minutes?) What will the IDF do?? Fire a dozen dud PATRIOTS (to no avail)? F-16s? F-15s? Or just evacuate the Hotel?
