A contractor who was working at a Florida airport opened up a container to find a live missile.
The shocking find happened on Friday afternoon at Lakeland Linder International Airport east of Tampa.
It's not known how the missile arrived at the airport which is mainly used for private jets and no longer for any kind of military use.
The container that also had aircraft parts inside belongs to Draken International.
The firm, which is based at the airport has links with the military and owns a fleet of about 150 former military aircraft it contracts out for training exercises.
After the discovery on Friday, the airport was quickly evacuated and bomb disposal experts from nearby MacDill Air Force Base were called in to remove the warhead which was still live, but not armed.
'It was like having a gun with bullet in chamber, but on safety. Someone would have to arm the missile to fire it,' said Air Force 1st Lt. Brandon Hanner, a spokesman for the 6th Air Refueling Wing, who spoke to the Military Times. 'It was live, but unarmed.'

What type of missile... air to air or ground to air... if air to air it must be armed and launched from an appropriately configured aircraft. If ground to air and shoulder-fired all the components necessary other than the battery are ready for arming the missile and firing... install the battery and viola... shoot down an airliner with ease.
Now who do you suppose ordered that? What was the intent? You just don't loose a missile in the mail. Someone ordered it and was suppose to sign for it. That wouldn't be the evil left's October surprise for The Legendary President Donald J. Trump and Air Force One? We will never know, but our military intelligence should do a trace on it, there could be more. Open your eyes people, the left has played almost every dirty play in saul alinsky's book. They know America is going to lose it's patience with all the crimes these sickos are getting away with. Someone needs to sprout a pair and start arresting the insurgents at the top of the pack.
I quess someone needs to shoot a plane down with one of Emmaneul Macrons enimies on board.
