We should just completely stop doing business with these countries until they prove they are worthy of our business... I mean, they want to leverage UPS and FedEx and then turn around and also use it for terrorism?

Very sad...

It's going to be shown live on TV. Frankly, I don't think they'd let spotters around right now.

Numerous ENG copters over JFK showing the Emirates plane on the tarmac. Reportedly Canadien Royal AF escorted the aircraft initially then handed off to USAF F-15s.
Pres Obama ready to go on air live at 4:15.

Explosive materials CONFIRMED in two of the packages BUT whether they could have done any type of damage is another question.

NORAD just told ABC that there are no plans for a military escort at this time.
