HT: SPoD and Autobartender

Police are on alert after more than a dozen pilots reported someone shining a laser light at the plane while descending into Metro Airport.

The incident occurred in the Dearborn and Dearborn Heights areas, where 16 pilots reported seeing the laser pointer lights near the tower at Metro Airport, Local 4 reported.

Apparently the lights were being flashed at planes on their final approach into the Detroit area. The first instance reported was near the Home Depot in Dearborn Heights, then a short time after the light originated from a neighborhood near Telegraph Road and Lehigh Road, according to police...

#5  JAB - I don't doubt you, but mayhaps the "good citizens" of Detroit could start ratting out their terrorist brethern.

While they're still alive and free to do it.

#4  I know the area too. Worked there for 4 years. Have been to the Home Depot.This sounds terrorist related. No doubt that is is a good place for terrorists to 'blend in.' However, we need to remember that most of the Arabs there are good citizens and I recall celebrations when we took out Saddam.

#2  Once again I'm reminded of that scene from "Kentucky Fried Movie's" "A Fistful of Yen:"

The captured CIA agent is brought before the warlord:

"You ________ ________ bastard! You'll never get me to talk!"

Warlord: (very low voice) "Take him to Detroit."

Agent: "Not Detroit! Noooooooo!!!!!"
