I guess the question is, what does this protective hemisphere protect with? Rapid launching projectiles? Shock waves? Sound? Because I'm pretty sure as of yesterday the whole 'forcefield' thing was mythical.

I mean, there must be something to the claim. Claiming to have an operational weapons system that's a fairy tale would be ludicrous.

I mean, it's not as if we claim any of our missile deffense systems actually work. I'd hate to see Israel not only taking our lead in sinking significant portions of GNP into bogus 'defense; systems, but actually upping the anti by claiming their real.
