A wierd day today

To start off, I work at an airport. Watch planes take off and land all day. Today a 747 made 4 approaches and aborted at the last second every time. What makes it wierd is 747 never ever ever come to Long Beach for any reason. 2nd wierd thing is I walk out on the flight line and see not 5, not 6, not 7 but 12 cop cars of all models on our ramp. I'm thinking"Cool, someone snuck into the airport again". So I hang out and an aircraft shows up on our ramp. I can't mention the tail number "N1NA" but when they landed the cops all swarmed the outside of the plane. Expecting Bin Laden in handcuffs to be escorted off the plane. Instead they start off loading cases of dynamite! WTF? Who flys around with dynamite on a plane, none the less cases of it. I did some research and found out the plane is registered to NASA. Why would NASA have cases of dynamite on there airplane.

They are planning to outdo bin laden and launch a shuttle filled with TNT into afganistan. Though I'm sure it would be easier and cheaper to build small rockets filled with explosives and aid them at specific targets....

oh wait???

What use would NASA have for its own 747? Or dynamite for that matter?

Edit: Ah, the 747 wasn't NASA's. Still.

You may be compromising national security and Jack Bauer ain't gonna like that meep.

Something to do with the impending meteorite strike/tsunami?

Edit: Ah, the 747 wasn't NASA's.

Go for the triple-take.
It doesn't seem like any mystery why NASA would want planes for transport... They don't just hop in the shuttle to jaunt from Kennedy to JPL. Google claims N1NA is a NASA Gulfstream rather than a 747.

Maybe the dynamite crates are a ruse. They're actually transporting something deadly/valuable/irreplacable and super-secret. They obviously aren't going to label it as such, but what to label it as?
Label it as something innocuous like laundry detergent and the bad guys will wonder why the police are escorting that -- it must be worth stealing.
So you (mis)label it as something that would warrant a police escort, but which does not appear to be worth the risk of stealing from the g-men. Safe cargo!

Another mystery solved before lunch.
Maybe I'll tackle that JFK thread by dinner.

So you work at an Airport but mistake a Gulfstream for a 747....

What are you, a tea-boy?

He said: "So I hang out and an aircraft shows up on our ramp." He didn't say it was the same aircraft that he observed making several aborted landing attempts. The 747 and N1NA are separate (and probably unrelated) incidents.

There is nothing to see here. Move along, citizen.
