Point out
that sometimes a man-pad up the flaptrack is enevitable. It won't help, but it is a lovely phrase to use in context.
EDIT: To de-RIS. A MANPAD is a type of Surface to Air Missile, a flap track is part of the wing of an aircraft. The two came together a few years ago when I was working for the firm that built the 'plane, and the phrase was born. It always made me giggle like a schoolgirl but I so rarely can bring it into conversation.
