| #7 We could sell them the very best, no worries. They are still soddi pilots, I have had to fly near them in my past life. My dog is a better pilot, they only fly when they feel like it, and with any luck one will crash into mecca. |

| #6 agreed with Warthog... when selling to cultural enemies who happen to be political allies, a kill switch is most important. for use when they turn them on us - or when they get captured and turned on us. |

| #3 Hmmmm...me thinks I would plant a little SW or HW "kill switch" somewhere vital in the inner workings. This way we could turn the avionics (or whatever..) either into fried mush or direct the flight path to a destination of our choosing. |

| #2 Well at least he isn't giving them too Pakistain. The Saudi royals seem too have a couple of the same enemies as we do. |

| #1 They probably think of it as a "going out of business" sale. |
