Well, when it comes to that,  I think that
A. Some junior political officer is packing his bags, and looking forward
	to a life sorting salt...
B. There is clearly a group inside the Kremlin who are not crying over the
	incident...  Andropov has very powerful allies and enemies inside
	the politbureau  (read "Congress" if you are unfamiliar with the
	Soviet goverment structure).
C. I think this makes a good reason for the US to try their new generation
	of hunter/seeker missiles out on live targets in the northern
	Canadian Arctic...  which Soviet bombers and fighters regularily
	pass over...  trying out various antiradar and other things.
