It won't go to Hawaii. They'll fire one to Alaska first. 🙁
No, whoozer; Hawai'i is closer to NK. It's almost within the reach of their existing, proven platforms.
That said, yes, the will try to arc one over HI, or almost to CA, or to some closely corresponding area, because it is supposed to rattle some cages.
FWIW, previous post was a countdown in sino & pure Korean.

This will give our anti-ICBM's some great target practice.

6-19-2006 N.Korea appears close to testing missile
President Bush, national security adviser Stephen Hadley and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have been in contact with more than a dozen countries and communicated with North Korea through the U.N. representative, Snow said.
"If they go ahead with a test, then we will have to respond properly and appropriately at the time," Snow told CNN's "Late Edition."
Japan's largest newspaper, Yomiuri, reported Sunday that U.S. and Japanese officials have confirmed that North Korea has assembled what is believed to be a Taepodong-2, with two stages at the launch site, based on photos from satellites.
The newspaper and South Korea's Yonhap news agency carried similar reports citing unidentified U.S. and diplomatic officials saying North Korea also may have begun fueling the missile.

Well making light will help you deal with it. I live 15 miles from a nuclear assembly plant, and we have learned to laugh about it. The russians have missiles with Amarillo's name on them, literally. They showed them on 60 Minutes, years ago.

Then we get to see Seoul leveled in a couple of hours. Good plan.

Too many people, including defense contractors and civilians, would know about the operational status of the interceptor, and the prepping of it for launch. And someone would eventually talk...and it if DIDN'T hit and be announced as such, then everyone would know it failed...

The thing about failure is the certain existence of its possibility.
It's like what Lincoln said, It's better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Same with our bogus missle-defense. It hasn't been tried in the real world, so a missle could be intercepted, which would mean bad bad news for the offending country. Most countries don't take this risk. If our system is proven to fail, however, we are in a much much weaker position.
North Korea is only a threat to itself.
The reason ? China. It is in China's interest if NK is annoying to the USA, Japan, and S Korea. It is not in China's interest for NK to be an actual threat, or actually engage any of those countries.
So even if NK was a military threat, China would crush them faster than the USA could.

On what grounds? We have launched buttloads of test missiles over international waters. So have dozens of other nations. There is nothing even remotely illegal about a nation test firing equipment over open ocean.
If NK puts a missile over Japan, or Taiwan or someone else, that would be a violation which deserved some sort of response.
OK, this might be tough for you to understand seeing as how I'm quite sure that you just crawled out from under a rock, but try and keep up, I'll try to keep it simple...
I paid 3.10 per gallon yesterday for low grade 87 octane fuel. We have been in Iraq for several years and prices have only gotten worse. If we were there for O-I-L as you claim, why have prices escalated? Would not they drop down because we are monopolizing the oil and keeping it here for us?
Now, re-read that slowly, take a breath and read it one more time. Allow yourself a minute for each sentence to take root. Allow your mind to see the truth. We aren't there for oil you dolt.
Go eat a soy burger.
Nice work.

Hey, maybe gas would be even more expensive now had we not invaded Iraq. Ever think of that possibility?
