JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the U.S. should consider pulling out of the Basel group of global regulators because the new international bank capital rules are "anti-American."

I suddenly like the Basel III proposal a lot more…

    [yeah, right]:

    Fighter planes were scrambled, bomb squads were called, FBI command centers went on alert and police teams raced to airports today, but in the end two separate airline incidents were caused by apparently innocent bathroom breaks and a little "making out," federal officials said.

    In the first incident, a pair of fighter jets were scrambled to escort an American Airlines jet into New York’s JFK airport after the pilot became spooked by passengers’ frequent trips to and from the restroom.

    It was caution, not fear. Simple, common sense caution. They definitely did it in the 80s too. Right?

    Well, if the fighter jet response time had been normal on 9/11 the buildings would be still there.
    But on 9/11 there was chaos in the air. Because there was an excercise with hijacked airplanes.
    You can’t make this stuff up.
