Ah, good 'ol MIAT. "Maybe It Arrives Today" is the proper understanding, I think. Mongolia is really a pretty nice place to visit but it says something about the national airline when people would rather fly an Aeroflot flight flying old soviet jets. (The Aeroflot flights to the US and Europe are, actually, not too bad, probably even a bit better than what you'll get on a US airline these days, but the flights out east are a bit more scary.)
But hey the Dems are on the case:
"Ordinary citizens should not be intimidated due to a security exercise," said B. Munkhutya, a lawmaker from the Democratic Party.
I hear that Munkhutya will be spending some time in Iowa next month.
