I know I’m being irrational. After all, I find it normal that NASA launches a rocket or the Space Shuttle after clearing a security perimeter from commercial flights. The Chinese obviously do the same, but somehow their perimeter seems smaller than NASA’s:

Or maybe it’s just my imagination, and my instinctive fear of China taking over the world to make us all wear Mao shirts. [Break]
