Shit just real between FedEx and UPS.

FedEx wants to install anti-missile lasers in its cargo jets
FedEx says it wants to install a missile-defense system that “directs infrared laser energy toward an incoming missile ... to interrupt the missile’s tracking of the aircraft’s heat.”
Jokes aside, I suppose it's a sad commentary on our times.

A bit late if they are still flying into Baghdad airport, the only one where civilian flights may have been at danger in the past, apart from Kabul, but they no longer operate there (if ever). I dimmly seem to remember that one African airport was at times at rsik, Nairobi perhaps? But nowhere are AA missiles reported in use to especially pick out postal delviveries. Some guy needs to lose their chair in upper management.
