Please don't get me wrong. I agree with you in the sense that "what can you really do about it?" without further escalating the issue. Nothing, really. I understand that. And I'm not worked up over this overflight, although I do believe and have stated that I feel it was very provocative, unnecessary and dangerous. Really, I'm just curious to know where the thin line is.
