Jet fighters cant do jack about those things. I think what a lot of the population doesnt realize is that there most likely will be attacks no matter what measures we take to prevent them. Its not worth stressing our economy over thwarting "possible" terrorist plots. If there is a REAL threat or attack, respond to it....if not, then dont. Its not rocket science but for the amount of $$ we're spending on this anti-terrorism/Homeland security bullsh1t you would think that it was.

B1B with full afterburners on take off? that will literally make your computer monitor jump up and off your desk.

I dont mind the jet noise. I live near March AFB and they have jets doing manuevers all the time.. But then I wanted to be a Pilot so I like that sort of stuff, too bad my eyesight is crap.

Just confirmed at worked it was a F-18 Hornet. In fact, one just took of right in front of me this morning at ~11:00am ... probably the same one that strafed you. Haha
Stealth planes (F-117, B-2, etc.) are actually many times quieter than conventional jets. They have special diffusers (at the inlet and exhaust end) that both absorbs and deflect sound emmission. Oh ... and good luck luck persuading them to use one of those 'stealthy' planes. They are only deployed when totally necessary even during a war!
