Radar is ineffective underwater because the radio waves are absorbed by the water. That is why there's no radar in use on submarines. Sonar is not a valid solution here because it annoys the whales. Or at least high-power sonar, as us

No jets use or have ever used leaded products. Jets run on Jet-A, which is a close relative of kerosene. It has never been leaded. The purpose of lead was to prevent cylinders from prematurely detonating ("knocking") in internal

After the pharmacies got sued for filling opiate prescriptions (which were written by abusive doctors, but the pharmacies are the ones who got sued)[1], is it any surprise that Xanax and Adderall are being limited? If pharmacies are at risk

Commercial jets in the US run on Jet-A, which is lead-free and kerosene-like. Adding 737 flights will not add any lead. You are thinking 100LL ("low lead") Avgas, which is gasoline-like and used for small propeller planes (think
