#1 Warlock = Israeli anti-IED system we've been hearing about?

#2 It must be our own version of it. Or a joint project with the Isreali's.

#3 Careful what you say there, Capt. Mansfield, if you aspire to a network job. They'd prefer you fill us in on the "quagmire" aspect of the story...

#4 This seems to be something different to the Israeli device previously described. The Captain says it stops IEDs denotating, whereas the Israeli device caused them to detonate. This explains a couple of earlier stories of bombs exploding after the vehicle had passed that didn't make sense to me. Also note that this is what happened in the first try at booming Musharaaf. Maybe Gaddafi was offered one as an inducement?

#6 fly for 24 consecutive hours, across eight time zones.

Must've been a DC-3. But for $1200 British Airways would have been the better option. Hell, whatever gets you home, I guess.
