Well, as much as I hate to argue with TRB (I usually lose),  I will simply
giggle, and say, "I told you so!"  Firstly,  I will state that I have
seen unclassified reports,  and released classified reports, indicating
and documenting beyond my rather stuffy level of disbelief (sp?) that the
Soviet air defence forces have regularily overflown Canadian territory,
and on one occassion in the last 6 years were escorted out.  Note that this
was not a "minor" incident involving one plane,  but a squad (kinda hard to
hush this up, given numbers),  and I gather from comments of a military
attache of the USA, that "they sort of idled their way out, with no great
concern".  I forsee in the very near future, a couple of Soviet NMW's
being blown out of the sky, but I doubt if you will hear about it...
