oh, high godmy god. we have a different attitude. we are jack seasonian in our approach toward gyrocopters. the real question is why didn t a police helicopter first intercept and if the helicopter gives the guy a warning and he doesn t land then he shoot the him down. but planlg if you re not a mail man and you re somebody with bad intentions. maybe in d.c. there aren t many security agencies with access to helicopters. i will say they will have to be ready to shoot the next one that comes down because if you re a terrorist and you re looking at this boy, air space is so it s wide open. porous. next week would not be a good time to fly a gyrocopter. go put a lock on it. who built that thing? i don t know but i need one. you do you need on get to the new york times in it. no. i don t think he s welcome
the jiegyrocopter he saw yesterday. if you remember the movie, independence day and he said we don t have a heat shield and. this is more of our conversation when i asked him what was your reaction when you heard the news? my first reaction was what s a gyrocopter? i had to see an image of it. oh, yes, that is a gyrocopter. we know a lot already. the facts are not in yet completely. i want to know all of the facts before i reach an assessment of what can and should be done about gyrocopters in the future. this individual apparently literally flew in under the radar. literally flew in under the
reaction. so for an aircraft or someone that doesn t want to abide by the rules, how easy or difficult is it to detect a gyrocopter or slow-moving, low-flying object coming toward the capitol, washington, d.c., the white house, or the naval observatory? that s the key bit. when you ve got an aircraft or gyrocopter that flies at one mile a minute at a height of about 500 feet, there are only three real ways of detecting aircraft. primary radar, secondary radar, and a target tracking radar, a little bit more serious. primary radar, it s not going to do that. that can only really look at targets above 1,500 feet that have a broad radar cross section like an airliner traveling above 1,500 feet. secondary radar is about the transponder. we spoke about that, mh370. these gyrocopters do not carry transponders. and the target bars are more sinister. bars are more sinister. they re not something you normally have around the urban
hover. it s not able to hover like a helicopter. a pilot spoke how they were largely unregulated. he calls this side of pilots taking to the air ways rebels of aviation. he says their security is in question and that is a concern to all pilots. this type of aviation where someone is able to fly into the capitol is a big concern for all pilots. we face a time after 9/11 where there s a lot of restricts on how we fly. we are trying to be better citizens. having someone do this does jeopardize the way we are able to access the air space. reporter: he says these are large gaps in how the faa regulates the gyrocopters. today s incident draws that into question. he says the faa requires a gyrocopter to be regulated and manufactured. if it weighs less than 254, it
the secret service hours in advance. why is it always the mailman that s the crazy one? i don t know but i m just happy, because i m muslim and he s not muslim. it s a whole different conversation we re having. but why didn t they shoot him down? muslims want to take over. he s raised the issue. we ll give it a minute. i would love to talk about campaign finance reform. i d love to talk about gyrocopters. why does the u.s. post office have granded gyrocopters? is this a christopher lloyd who did he play in back to the future ? doc. a dock invention? or is that actually something usps has? it was like tampa s official gyrocopter.
