Especially don't book fedex to deliver anything - you'll never see it!
(Sorry had to squeeze that in!)
It seems remote but someday we're going to have to face a genuine "its-gonna-land-on-our-heads-and-boy-are-we-screwed", event.
Might as well get working on it now.

Russkies always make a mess. Always. My guess is they'll effectively achieve the opposite result - and ensure it hits.

No wonder Russia is worried, look at the path of risk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20...th_of_Risk.jpg

I guess if you can catch it far enough out you would only need a small angular diversion to make it miss.
