I was reading the article on the fisherman hooking up to an air-to-air
missile.

somehow, I'm thinking this story involves Reid......

Actually, I saw the story before it was posted here. It's no big
deal. They have a live fire range over the Gulf. The missiles (most
of them) have cement warheads and the rocket motor has burnt out, so
they just drop into the water and rust away. I could probably clean
it up and paint it so the guy could put a nice conversation starter on
his mantle. Could always mount to to his roof to control
tailgaters.
