soooooo

is the implication that National Scurity depends on
the distance from Dulles Airport to Downtown DC being a secret?

or maybe that the formula "D=R*T" (Distance equals
Rate multipled by Time) is a secret?

or maybe the approximate airspeed of a jetliner on approach is secret???

or maybe maps that show where DC is located relative to Dulles
are a secret???

Maybe the commanders at NORAD are unfamiliar with the
common knowledge of cabbies, fourth graders, any casual
airplane enthusiast, or the American Automobile Association,
but assuming a potentiall adversary is equally out of
touch with reality would seem to be a problem.

      Harumph,
