Somebody Call Homeland Security!

You might have heard the unsettling news today about Northwest Airlines Flight NWA188. The plane lost contact with ground controllers for over an hour and strayed way past its destination airport (Minneapolis) before turning around and heading back.

But apparently that was not the most frightening part of the incident. Observe this map:



Apparently Flight NWA188 STRAYED INTO SOVEREIGN USA TERRITORY during its wayward journey!! Was Homeland Security alerted? Were jets scrambled? Was our nation's cheese supply in jeopardy at any point?

Somehow I feel a little less safe tonight.

    Yea, this is flight 188, please come in.

    Yes flight 188. What the hell happened?

    Um, we fell asleep and seemed to have journeyed into unknow territory. Please confirm that Michigan is still a part of the USA and was NOT, I repeat, NOT sold to Canada due to economic downturn.

    Yes flight 188, it is still part of the USA.
