" Well, since you really wanna know. Quite simply, a missile defense shield is a

net, made of magic, held in place by pixies. That's what it is, we have 70

pixies ready to go.. they're all wrapped up in special kevlar lining. They're in

a bunker in Colorado ready to go up there and defend our country! And that's how

it works, and it costs a lot of money folks. That doesn't cost $100. That's what

a box-cutter shield would cost, that's what you guys seem to be wanting. "
