		A formal NORAD agreement between the two governments was signed on May 12, 1958.
		By the early 1970s, the acceptance of MAD led to a cut in the air defense budget and the repositioning of NORAD's mission to ensuring the integrity of air space during peacetime.
		NORAD comes to public attention at Christmas, when it purports to track Santa Claus on his journey around the world delivering toys for the world's children.

		NORAD must be notified by the FAA or other federal agencies to investigate airborne security situations, he said.
		Regarding future NORAD involvement in hijackings of commercial airliners and other types of aircraft, Snyder noted: "Well-established rules of engagement were in place before 9-11." Those rules, he added, have been modified since to clarify new potential threats and situations.

		The roots of the NORAD agreement can be traced to the 1941 Ogdensburg Declaration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King which called for close military cooperation between Canada and the United States.
		Because of its expanding use of space-based sensors, NORAD dropped "air" from its name in 1981 and replaced it with "aerospace" to become the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
		With advanced technology and sensors, NORAD "weighed-in" on the war on drugs in 1989 and now works hand-in-hand with law enforcement agencies by detecting and tracking airborne drug smugglers.

	Did NORAD Send The "Suicide" Jets?
		NORAD is the military organization formed by treaty between the U.S. and Canada to monitor and defend North American skies against enemy aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles.
		In fact, NORAD (the North American Air Defense Command) had at its disposal a number of U.S. Air Force General Dynamics F-106 Delta Dart fighter aircraft configured to be remotely flown into combat as early as 1959 under the auspices of a program known as SAGE.
		NORAD must have known when each of the transponders in the four "suicide" jets was turned off, and must have known immediately.

		NORAD has seen many changes as a result of political reviews, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the end of the Cold War and the inclusion of new missions such as drug interdiction.
		NORAD is highly important for Canada since the benefits from this agreement far outweigh the Canadian's share to the agreement.

	Yorkshire CND - Future of NORAD has some people worried - 5/3/05
		NORAD has always had the task of detecting and warning of an incoming missile attack and the Americans have always had sole responsibility for deciding how to react, he says.
		The role of NORAD -usually unseen and unsung - has been "absolutely essential" to the protection of the continent, says Joseph Jockel, a professor of Canadian studies at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. "We would not be safe if there were no command providing warning and assessment of attack on the continent," he says.
		NORAD has tapped into the civilian radars used for air-traffic control to keep vigil over the thousands of commercial flights that criss-cross Canada and the U.S. Procedures were written and fighter pilots in both countries briefed for the unthinkable - shooting down a jetliner.

	ScienCentral: Tracking Santa 2004
		Today, NORAD uses four high-tech systems to track Santa —radar, Santa Cams, jet fighter aircraft, and a network of spy satellites that lock onto the signal from Rudolph's nose.
		While NORAD has estimated Santa's speed at anywhere from mach 600—which is 600 times the speed of sound, or 300 times faster than NORAD's fighter jet— to nearly the speed of light, he actually slows down enough for NORAD fighters and Santa Cams to see him.
		NORAD recently released declassified images it has captured of Santa dating back to the 1950s that reveal just how little he's changed.

		What we do see every year is, usually we fly Canadian NORAD fighters up north to make a visual identification of Santa because Santa tends not to file flight plans with the FAA and as a result we’re required to go and make an identification.

	Scoop: UQ Wire: Sen. Dayton's "NORAD Lied" Transcript
		According to your findings, FAA authorities failed to the inform military command, NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, about three of the four hijackings until after the planes had crashed into their targets at the second World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the ground in Pennsylvin Pennsylvania which was not their target.
		NORAD was unaware that the plane had even been hijacked until after it crashed into the Pentagon at 9:34.
		And in that testimony before you NORAD officials stated also that at 9:24 they received notice of the hijacking of the third plane, American flight 77, also untrue according to your report; which states that NORAD was never notified that flight was hijacked.

	NoRad Company History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		NoRad was founded in the belief that as computer use in offices and homes grew, there would be a demand for products that improve the ergonomic and environmental quality of workspaces.
		This new material was combined with proprietary NoRad coating processes to produce the NoRad Shield, a high-resolution, metalized mesh shield that blocks all electric fields, not just ELF and VLF (extremely low frequency and very low frequency), which represent about 1% of the frequency ranges measurable from a monitor.
		As the popularity of color, high-resolution and large-format displays grew, NoRad developed UltraGlass, a front-mounted shield that is similar to the NoRad Shield in its ability to block electric fields and end glare and static, but uses optically superior glass to do so.

	USATODAY.com - NORAD testing laser warning system at Reagan National Airport (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is considering using lasers to warn pilots they've flown into restricted airspace, an unusual choice because the government also says terrorists might use the beams of light to blind pilots as they approach airports.
		The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, has been researching the use of alternating red and green lasers as a way to communicate with pilots flying too near the Capitol or the White House when they can't be reached by radio.
		NORAD tried the ground-based laser signals on a test plane flying into Washington's Reagan National Airport last Friday.

		NORAD was informed in real time throughout of all developments, including about the plane that ultimately hit the Pentagon, the FAA said.
		Dayton said NORAD officials "lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence, communication and protection of the American people." He told Kean and Hamilton that if the commission's report is correct, President Bush "should fire whoever at FAA, at NORAD...

	IGNORAD - The military screw-up nobody talks about. By Scott Shuger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The NORAD home page declares its mission to include "the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles." It may seem ungallant to say the obvious, but since no one else has, I will: At the aircraft part of this mission, NORAD sucks.
		Eberhart has also said that while before 9/11, NORAD had practiced responding to a hijacked plane trying to slam into a target in the United States, the exercises assumed that the flight had originated overseas, giving intercepting jet fighters more time.
		NORAD (military in design and nature) is an early warning system against other military forces attempting to or engaging in attacking the Continental United States(CONUS)…It is not a system for detecting or thwarting a terrorist attack, which happened to originate within the CONUS.

	Senator Accuses FAA, NORAD on 9/11
		He also noted that NORAD could not find the hijacked jetliners because terrorists turned off their transponders and NORAD lacked adequate radar to locate them without that beamed signal.

		NORAD said it was notified nine minutes before impact.

		All are under the command of NORAD, which is charged with airspace warning and control for North America.
		He said one inbound international flight was broadcasting a hijacking code from a radio beacon, but "before it got to Alaska, we had fighter aircraft on it." The plane eventually landed at a remote base in Canada and the warning was deemed a false alert.
