I'm not sure why this isn't bigger news, but two El Al flights from Israel to LA (via Toronto) and back were both diverted two days in a row to Hamilton airport. Canadian authorities will only say that is was a "serious threat" but according to Israel news sources, some crazy f*&!er wanted to launch a heat-seeking missile at the plane while it was on the tarmac at Pearson. You can read more about it here including the fact that 14 shipments of weapons have entered Canada through the postal system.
Just thought I would perpetuate the fear. Enjoy!
