    From defense.gov:

    NORAD also tracks Santa using U.S. Air Force F-15, F-16, F-22 and Canadian Air Force CF-18 fighter jets. On Christmas Eve, fighter pilots rendezvous with Santa off the coast of Newfoundland to welcome him to North America. They escort him safely through North American airspace until he returns to the North Pole.

    Why is no one hollering about this obvious waste of taxpayer dollars? It’s not like they can keep up with him, anyway; Santa is superluminal!
