Michael, one more thing.
350K dollar government waste for flying an airplane for a photo-shoot
We have been led to believe that advertising works no, so how do you figure it was a waste. Against what are you measuring the potential value of images or events such as this. How do you know that this is not a subliminal image or message to the world. Fighter jets over NY Harbor is clearly a provocative image in ways, but we're on it, that's why we have advertising in the first place, no matter if you think it effective or not. What if alerting folks would have made it pointless, what if some kind of data gathering was the purpose. Maybe the reasons behind it are a state secret. If they are and such were made public, the squealing about letting our enemies know what we’re up to would be just as loud. Perhaps you’re just unable to perceive the administration attending to or having any Security concerns. Maybe someone figured it was a way to make money. Maybe it was just a big experiment in the fishbowl, your own or someone else’s. Maybe it’s part of a federal war against state and local government. So how do you know it was a waste. Upon what basis is this idea founded and what is the nature of that foundation. Iow where is the evidence, not asserting it wasn’t a waste, in fact this post itself might be that, just that imo we don’t have the facts, ok at least I certainly don't, to make the determination. No biggie, but it would be nice to see some support for your case.
