One thing's for certain: be VERY glad someone found all those "broken" planes at all!
I don't know why you managed to find so many, but were it me, I'd be glad they found this stuff while still on the ground!
Another thought: I suspect the phrase "broken plane" or whatever they used, was for the public's benefit.
With Homeland Security working, I think a lot of this sort of thing is an abnormally heightened awareness of possible sabotage, and "just one more look at some suspicious packages in the baggage compartment."

Okay, blame Shaun for the following:
Monday morning I check in at American Airlines in Albuquerque to fly to Washington, DC, connecting through Chicago-O'Hare. All the employees are grumpy. I suspect they have just gotten some bad news.
