Just what GA needs, a couple of idiot's busting the TFR in DC. Thanks a
lot
fella's, sure too follow will be more restrictions/regulations. What's so
hard about plotting out a course and going around these area's?? We are
our
own worst enemy.

Okay, so on the one hand, you are absolutely correct.

On the other hand, as soon as pointing out that the pilot was clearly not
being one of our best representatives, shouldn't we point out the idiocy of
the response?

Seriously. You have a C150 flying over the capital (being escorted by two
F16's which we can assume are armed). Isn't evacuation a little overkill?
If he had vectored towards a likely target, can we not assume he would have
been shot down by air or ground defenses? Are we equally well defended and
ready for attack by truck? Truck barriers are easaily defeated using a two
truck attack.

How about we run screaming for the hills whenever anything larger than a van
is seen in DC? After all, the only supposed threat from a plane smaller
than cabin class is an NBC weapon that everyone with any sense knows is more
effectively delivered by truck.

The real question is: Why are our leaders are so foolish to fall for their
own feel good rhetoric?
