OK, putting all the snarky, sophomoric thoughts aside, the USAF *should* be doing this sort of thing. It's the ultimate in military intelligence, finding out who's out there, how far away "they" are, and making an estimate of what nasty things they might be capable of doing to our species. (Oh, and I worked doing operations planning on the old NASA SETI Program in the 1980s, and I came at SETI from two points of view: One was for the pure science of finding out more about our Universe, but the other from the point of view of military intelligence, on the periphery of which I worked a decade earlier.)
