This reminds me of a story I heard a few years ago. It came from a British tabloid so no idea if it's true or not...

Some British traffic cops had a radar speed trap on a busy main road close to a USAF base in England. Normal day, lots of people ignoring the speed limits. One of the cops points the radar detector at a car coming of the brow of a hill and is amazed when the readout displays over 600mph. A second later two F-15's pass over their heads, and the cops laugh it off.

The next day the local police get a call from the USAF base saying they were lucky the F-15's were unarmed - apparently the radar detector that had locked on to one of the F-15's had registered as an enemy radar silo, and the F-15's automatic defence system had tried to fire a missile to destroy it...

Like I said, this came from a British tabloid...
