In late october there was a controversy emerging that I have totally missed and learned about just today. A NASA report on air traffic security saw such catastrophic data that the goivernment told Nasa to withhold the release to the public.

http://www.mindfully.org/Technology/...ASA22oct07.htm

I do not know if the full story has been relased now, (Google did not help me to think so, and the geman newspaper I refer to say that Nasa released the data just threed days agho and that AP was able to decypher it just now), but Die Welt today has published numbers from that report, also quoting the deputy director of NASA.

From 2001 to 2004, over 25000 professional and 4000 private pilots had been questioned on air travels in american air space. the study costed 11.3 million dollars.

1266 "near misses" have been reported in that time, that means aircraft coming closer than 500 ft to each other - at speeds that eventually are in excess of 600 knots (if in frontal collision mode).

1312 cases have been reported when airliners were suddenly pulled up and pushed down most brutally, obviously in attempots to avoid frontal collisions in mid-air.

166 landings without asking for permission.

513 "hard landings".

4267 occaisons when birds struck the plane.

A not precisely named number of occaisons when airliner pilots slept while being on duty in cockpit.

NASA and government seemed to have agreed that these numbers never should see the light of the oublic, but AP has taken legal action by which NASA was forced to release the results on 31st of Decembre. not without adding NO conclusions, NO summary, NO structure, NO order to a document that has more than 16 thousand pages - evil to him who evil thinks.

There is mounting anger and criticism for this form of obviously intentional disarranged publication, amongst others coming from the university of Stanford. It is reasonable to suspect that it was done this way in the hope that the important data would get missed in the mist. All in all the findings exceed the results of examinations by the FAA often by several factors.

the excuse why the report was locked is simple, and is admitted freely: not to hit commercial interest of airline companies by makeing the public aware.

Enjoy collecting your air miles, gentlemen.
