DHL got hit, El Al was a shoot and a miss - both outside the US. If our ports were more secure I wouldn't worry so much, but sadly, I've been watching too much Lou Dobbs .

I was at BIAP when DHL got hit...

The months I spent there, most surface -to-air-attacks were within the vicinity of the airport. In the United States you almost need a permit to walk the fenceline outside of most controlled airfields so the threat may or may not be as prevalent but something happening could change all that very quickly...
