FYI:

There has been some speculation about why NORAD has chosen to close its doors to the public. This article deals with some of the issues and mentions the Y2K bug as part of the speculation.

I do suspect terrorism is the top concern for them ... especially now with Kosovo. Y2K glitches, may be an afterthought.

Gee, if NORAD is prepared for the unknown, why shouldn't the rest of us follow their lead?

Diane,

OK, I'll bring one blast door, who's bringing the other?

Let's see: NORAD dectects missle launch and it takes 11 to 20 minutes to reach it's target, and it takes 2 1/2 years for anyone to take the message seriously ....uh...well....um.... Bye for now.
