I saw the URL at the bottom of the page and I wondered if NORAD used fake 
radar blips for Santa just like the ones that they used on 9/11 and it 
appears that they did.  See for yourself at:

     How does someone as stone cold STUPID as you survive? This is a
very serious question.

Rockyian Logic:

Santa fly in sky

Kooks fly in sky

therefore, Santa is Kook.

It is pretty easy to see the similarity when you realize they both used 
bogus blips on the radar put there by NORAD.  DUH

     Did you look at how NORAD and Google did it as I suggested? Or
did you "run away" from learning, again, that you're wrong? Your post
suggests you have, once again, lived up to your name of Run Away
Roger.

Actually NORAD hasn't done the Santa thing for many years; it is done
by volunteers and what is done has never had anyting to do with NORAD's
radars, it is all press release graphics.

     Correct. But I don't think Run Away Roger has been told enough
for him to actually learn it. He has to be told the same thing
numerous times before he is able to learn.

Actually he didn't. He wrote, that NORAD manipulated radar observations, 
to (falsely) show 'Santa delivering Christmas presents'.

I wouldn't regard 'Santa tracking' as a duty of a military installation, 
but following hijacked planes actually is.

Faking flying objects (like in this case 'Santa') is real bad habit and 
extremely questionable. So this possibility should be revoked from 
NORAD, to disallow fakery of any kind.

NORAD seems to be a joint operation of the USA and Canada. So US 
military should ask Canadians, if they are involved in some sort of 
faked flying objects (Santa, UFOs, planes).

Not at the time of 9/11; all of NORAD's radars looked outward for
threats against the continental US nor were hijacked airplanes within
US territory part of NORAD's mission.

AFAIK, NORAD still does not have any radar inside the US other than
the data it can get from the FAA.

Clueless; the "fakery" is in the press releases, not what is actually
shown on NORAD radar.

Not on September 11, 2001 it wasn't. Unless you have evidence to the contrary.

     Whereas no real radar readings were offered, NORAD couldn't have
done that.

>I wouldn't regard 'Santa tracking' as a duty of a military installation, 

     Um, you are aware NORAD isn't actually tracking Santa, right?
It's something NORAD does to help keep the "magic" of Santa alive in
the minds of children.
     Honest.

>but following hijacked planes actually is.

     At the time of the hijackings, it was not. NORAD looked for
threats coming for OUTSIDE the boarders. This has been brought up
before, so you already knew this.

>Faking flying objects (like in this case 'Santa') is real bad habit and

     No. Since they do not use real radar read outs, and no mentally
sound person would accept the NORAD is actually tracking Santa, there
is no violation.

>NORAD seems to be a joint operation of the USA and Canada. So US 
>military should ask Canadians, if they are involved in some sort of

     Why? It's the U.S. portion of NORAD that does the "tracking." And
as any reasonably prudent person will know, it's done for the
entertainment of children. It's never been meant to be taken as real
by adults.
     Sadly, some adults, like Rocky, will never be able to understand.
Others will understand, but will be compelled to lie regarding the
matter, like you.

Since Santa would have to travel much faster than light to get his presents delivered to all the children of the world in only one night, his sleigh can never be tracked by radar.

Mr. Claus's sleigh would need to travel at a whopping average speed of
5,083,000 mph. Silverberg argues that the feat is possible because the
sleigh would have to travel 130 times more slowly than the speed of
light

But is probably not taking into account the time Santa spends drinking milk and eating cookies!

Though

"average distance between homes is about 1.63 miles"

is something I'm rather sceptical of, at least if it's interpreted as 
meaning the average distance to be travelled to reach the next home. If 
we assume that Santa can solve the travelling salesman problem, and take 
the optimum route, and given that the vast majority of homes are in 
towns, I would expect the average distance to be much less than 1.63 miles.
