This needs to be unhidden. Any spammers want to donate some of their resources to actually solving problems?

Yes, it's pretty incredible. And try to imagine if a foreign power forced down air force 1 and boarded the plane. That would be an act of war.

Absolutely. Imagine if Air Force 1 were even prevented from taking off from a foreign country to return to the US or similar, and the host country demanded to search it for X person or object. There would be massive diplomatic implications.

There's also the story where they hacked Belgian telecom, Belgium being an ally of the US. Isn't that an act of aggression too?
