I love the quality of grammar in the media:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — In first-ever tests for commercial airplanes carrying passengers, as many as three American Airlines jets will be equipped with a shoulder-fired missile defense system.

You just know some bright spark is going to have read this, and think there’s now going to be a way for an air marshal to stick their head out of the window to shoot a missile at someone/something.

The really frightening part? I bet someone could send a proposal in to the Pentagon suggesting just that and get a grant to investigate the potential!
