France has taken to harrassing Israeli passenger jets over their planned missile defense. World Net Daily reports that French military jets were flying dangerously close to the airliner trying to inspect them for illegal weapons defense systems.

The incident occurred over French territory as French fighter jets entered the civilian designated air corridor. The Israeli captain reported the French interceptors flew dangerously close and in some cases formed, what was described as, a dangerous interception mode.

It seems the French fighters not only circled the Israeli passenger plane, but also approached it from underneath.

One pilot said he is under the impression the French were inspecting the planes from every possible angle in an attempt to discover whether the passenger aircraft was carrying anti-shoulder-operated missile devices. Israel announced all its passenger planes are in the process of being equipped with such counter measures, pending the approval of a number of civil-administration authorities worldwide.

France has not approved the use of such devices. The U.S. is contemplating whether to allow them as well.

In the U.S. Congress is reported to be working on approval of such protections. France probably never will. These are the same cowards that wouldn't let our boys fly over to bomb Libya.
