FAA Order Airliners to Fly Higher Over Iraq

I don't think that I would want to be on any plane at any altitude over Iraq.... Not unless they were dropping large items out of their bellies that is.. :)
Higher then a 70,000ft out of date missile?
So far, there is no evidence of anything there but the shoulder fired stingers, which max out around 10 grand. That said, sure as heck now, somebody else will bring in something else to the theater.
Didn't seem to help MH17 at FL33 did it?
Let's apply the same over O'Hare......
What? Couldn't find a pic of a U.S. air carrier?
