I’m really glad to hear passenger jets are starting to roll out anti-missile tech. It’s well past time. I don’t mind saying it’s something I think about on many take-offs and landings. (A bigger threat in Israel, for sure, but not impossible in the U.S.)
My favorite line in the article, though:

Officials emphasize that no missiles will be test-fired at the planes.

Thanks for clarifying!

I’m still waiting for the whole-plane parachute.
