The New York Times > Science > This Time It's Real: An Antimissile System Takes Shape

A fascinating project. Having worked on the original Safeguard ABM system in the ''60s, I'm sure the technology has come light years forward. This system is primarily to counter threats posed by idiot states like North Korea or terrorists who may buy or shoot their way into missile sites to launch one at us.

The billions required is a huge price to pay, but what is the alternative? Nuclear blackmail from the likes of the lunatics in North Korea?
