Michael writes: After successfully tracking Santa Claus during his Christmas travels this year, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has announced that they will expand their tracking facilities to cover other holiday mascots.

“Our new tracking system, launching in 2004, will track the Easter Bunny, Cupid, and several others. We expect this to help our continuing NORAD is Not Scary campaign. In addition, these holiday characters frequently act with a disdain for border and airspace laws, and knowing their whereabouts is critical for the security of the continent,” said a NORAD spokesman.

The Defense Command will begin their new program by tracking Baby New Year next week. “We are hoping to track other mythical characters, including the Tooth Fairy and the Man in the Moon, but this will be difficult since they are active on more than one day of the year.”
