Is the shuttle's flight inclination the reason for the change, or is it
the security?  I was told several months ago that the DoD package required
extra security, thus the emergency landing sites had to be at fully
defended U.S. bases.  This came from a reliable source (an astronaut).
Any comments?  Am I missing some important detail?
