It's come out that the C150 was squawking VFR. Why on F*g earth would a
pilot on a supposed suicide-bomb mission bother to have his damned
transponder on, much less squawk 1200 while penetrating the ADIZ? Doesn't
make sense.

Either a primary only return (remember the evacutation due to the
birds?) or a 1200 squawk is bad news. I suspect, you'd be better
off squawking 7700 than either of those codes in the ADIZ. There
have been reports of people going to 1200 on the ground at ADIZ
airports triggering investigations.
