Can't they just fly in from the ocean below a certain altitude (4,000 feet?) and be below any of our civilian radar? The majority of our largest cities are on the coasts.
When MH370 went missing there was talk by aircraft specialists that if the plane was flown close enough to another it wouldn't show up. It would, at most, appear as a 'ghost' image on radar.

Ahhh. Right wing propaganda blogs are full of shit. Who knew?
Speaking as a libertarian some of you conservatives are fucking nuts. Holy shit you guys fall for anything goddamn. I don't post anywhere near as often since I am somewhat deployed but this shit started hitting my Facebook feed earlier in the week. I couldn't help but think how stupid some of my family members were and having to actually try and explain why they were being incredibly ignorant of even the largest of facts.
Sure as shit I come here just to see and some of you people are actually taking this seriously.
Wow.
Well that would explain why I never saw an accounting of what actual planes are missing.
That being said, as far snopes goes, the explanation is pretty weak. The bulk of their argument is that the planes aren't missing because the government didn't tell us they were missing.

11 missing airliners aren't something to be worried over?
Might want to actually read your link. SOME of the planes have been accounted for, but not all.http://www.snopes.com/rumors/missingplanes.asp

Why would you worry over something so fucking stupid?

I do agree that these are not much danger to us. Probably a lot easier to hijack planes legitimately in our system than to handle the logistics of fueling an airliner and shadowing another plane all the way to North America - assuming any of the missing planes even have the capability.
You might want to read the link as it's most likely that the unaccounted for planes were destroyed in the attack. You can view the damage on Google earth. It's is also highly unlikely that a jet airliner would take off from one of those airports u noticed by neighboring countries.
It's fear porn from agenda driven fear mongers.
And given the fact that most of the supposedly stolen airliners have been accounted for by airliners.net and given the fact this information came from an anonymous intelligence official, I'd say that you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe it at this point. But then again you'd have to be pre gullible to believe anything from the right wing media.
I'm personally still surprised nothing major didn't happen on 9/11 this year.
Good.
They've all crawled out from under their beds & have forgotten the whole thing by now, just like they have every year since 2001. But they're primed & ready to do it again next year, and the years after that. It's like going to a haunted house every year at Halloween. Some people need to feel frightened to feel alive, apparently.
