I emailed the NASA ASRS folks today to ask them if there was any DC ADIZ
exception to the ASRS immunity policy. I received the following reply:

"This had come to our attention numerous times when the TFR/ADIZ first
became a focus after 9/11. We received a clarification that the ASRS
limited immunity provisions would apply without difference. However, there
are still some FAA people who think that there is some higher power over
these type of violations, but we had the FAA Legal Office weigh in and this
was not true."

Interesting. From AOPA --

FAA enforcement action likely

Hard to believe, but the media got it wrong. Again. Despite some news reports to
the contrary, the FAA has not issued any action against the pilot of the Cessna
150 that wandered into the country's most restricted airspace on Wednesday. Not yet.

In an exclusive interview, the FAA's spokesman, Greg Martin, told AOPA: "The
seriousness of the incident merits the most thorough and careful examination
possible of all pertinent information related to this incident. Once that has
been completed, we will take all appropriate steps with respect to enforcement
action."

On the basis of that, it sounds like just a matter of time before the pilot,
Hayden Shaeffer, will be served with the papers indicating the FAA's intentions
regarding his flying privileges. AOPA has received a very high volume of calls
and e-mails regarding the incident. By far, the vast majority of the sentiment
favors the strongest possible action against the pilot.

Martin indicated that the final outcome is likely to occur next week. The most
serious action the FAA could take would be an emergency revocation of Shaeffer's
certificate. In that case, he could appeal the emergency revocation to an NTSB
administrative law judge, or he could apply for a new certificate in a year,
which would only be issued if he passes knowledge and practical tests.
