Were you Tracking Santa's Location?

As usual, NORAD were, but there's one minor issue to keep in mind and that's how during the Christmas and New Year holidays Santa Claus is the most successfully targeted victim of identity theft. Hopefully they were tracking the real Santa through the real Rudolph as the weakest link :

"The satellites have infrared sensors, meaning they can detect heat. When a rocket or missile is launched, a tremendous amount of heat is produced - enough for the satellites to detect. Rudolph's nose gives off an infrared signature similar to a missile launch. The satellites can detect Rudolph's bright red nose with practically no problem. With so many years of experience, NORAD has become good at tracking aircraft entering North America, detecting worldwide missile launches and tracking the progress of Santa, thanks to Rudolph."

All rest is a commodity but attitude.
