But if they saw it was a passenger shuttle, I doubt they'd be as worried (if they saw it). The Norwegian scare was a problem because the missile looked and acted like a trident missile (nuke launched from a sub). | |

There have been a couple instances of launches that weren't "premeditated" between nations, and sometimes the thought isn't "intercept" it's "retaliate". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_defense_systems_by_country are the systems for missile interception. | |
