Excuses, excuses, excuses

Should the US government ever get around to deploying the son-of-the-son-of-the-son-of-Star Wars missile shield is it likely that it will make anyone, anywhere feel any safer? Yet another test of the system has failed and had to be aborted.

What is the reason this time you ask?

Answer: the target missile wasn't flying high enough. Should they have announced that? Doesn't this tell the evil doers just what they need to know? I assume that Iran, China and al-Qaeda will all now embark on a development programme for low flying ballistic missiles.
