Dubai to install protective magnetic field around city

If you thought Dubai wasn't safe enough, think again. The city has announced the installation of 12, 35x40 meter, ionized chunks of iron, on the periphery of the city. These blocks will create a polarized magnetic field that will function like a shield and protect the city from possible entry of unfamiliar flying objects i.e. fighter planes, missiles, or even in event of planes not scheduled to land in Dubai -- making the city 100% protected from any unexpected and possibly dangerous happening.

The normal schedule of flights will not be affected as the system will function on radar technology that will differentiate expected from unexpected entries into Dubai skies.

The resulting magnetic field will not interfere with the Earth's natural magnetism, it will in fact complement it -- the first time in the world that something man made is being created on this level to work in harmony with nature.

"Providing our residents and tourists the safest possible environment in the Middle East is of utmost priority to us," said a Dubai government spokesperson who requested to stay anonymous. "We expect tourism to increase exponentially once these blocks are in place."

Inspired by the teachings of Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (that includes the Law of Gravitation) and the Biot-Savart Law of magnetic poles, the project will cost a staggering $329 million and will be ready for installation by 2012.
