Air Force intercept plan tightens guard for East Coast
The Air Force announced a new intercept plan to protect the East Coast and atomic plants, with rockets and fighters ready. Interceptions target unidentified planes within 200 miles of the coast north of Norfolk and within 100 miles of Oak Ridge, Hanford, and Los Alamos. The system requires instant identification via expanded flight reporting and authorizes use of guns if needed. President Truman had ordered hydrogen bomb development, and Air Force leaders warned the shooting could begin anytime.
