I find it interesting that moments after turning on the radio, a woman broadcaster uses the term "cross hairs".

in the cross hairsin a position to be criticized or attacked Her independence put her in thecross hairs of some local politicians.Usage notes: usually the situation results from holding opinionsthat are not popular or are too independentRelated vocabulary: caught in the crossfireEtymology: based on the literal meaning of cross hairs (crossed lines used toaim a gun)\
There is a movie  named Crosshairs : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587436/
