#3 I would think another likely buyer would be Horn of Africa, pirates and al-shabaab/etc wanting some anti-air, perhaps Yemen and Nigeria, all in demand and fairly local. Then north across the Med is also backyard territory...

#7 They'll probably end up in Afghanistan too. What better way for Islamic governments to deniably put the hurt on Americans than with these missing SAMs?

#8 It'll all be OK, I'm sure we'll be safe on planes because the TSA will be microwaving our children and/or groping their privates.
