Commercial Jets to Test Anti-missile System

This spring, up to three American Airlines jets carrying passengers, will be outfitted with anti-missile technology. This is the latest phase of testing technology to protect commercial planes from attack. An American Airlines spokesman said that the test will determine how well the anti-missile system holds up under the rigors of flight. The first Boeing 767-200 will be equipped in April or later. American operates that Boeing model mostly between New York and San Francisco and Los Angeles. American said it is "not in favor" of putting anti-missile systems on commercial planes but agreed to take part in the tests to understand technologies that might be available in the future. Pretty interesting, isn't it?
