America sure knows how to spend it's defence budget. Apparently, for 50 years, NORAD (that's the North American Aerospace Defence Command...that's right the guys responsible for identifying (and hopefully neutralising) airborne (read nuclear) attacks on the US and Canada) has been putting money towards both a Santa hotline as well as a Santa-tracking service utilising the whole arsenal of forward-warning systems.
Apparently it all started with a local advertising campaign in Colorado Springs which accidentally replaced the company's phone number with the private number for the head of the NORAD operation.
