3. Thanks!
It's such a ridiculous remark. I remember when I heard her say it the first time, thinking, "Wha-a-a-t?"

6. I thought she might mean
that since anti-aircraft fire would come from the ground, the bullet-proof vests might block fire into their bodies.

Which makes me wonder why aircraft aren't made out of kevlar.

9. As I said in another post (a couple days ago), unless the plane was in the air
and not moving (in which case, it would have to be a helicopter), and the armed gunmen and gunwomen were standing directly
under it and aiming to shoot into the passengers butts, I don't think sitting on their bullet-proof vests would make much sense.

10. The General wired ahead: Uncontrollable incoming fire. Reinforcements needed. Send First Lady,
First Daughter, a singer and a comedian. STAT!
