I would have NYC ringed by Patriot batteries, and anything above
250 knots that isn't on a flight plan should be terminated. Error
on the side of those on the ground.

In the pre 911 world, how would you have justified such draconian actions?

In the pre 9/11 world, the folks who are griping about why we didn't
stop the attacks would have been *screaming* about the "useless expense"
of those combat air patrols.
