Correct George,
But see my answer to the problem would be to make the entire area minus
Class A , into a super class"B". The normal rules of what Class B would be
re-defined for the ADIZ area, which is very very possible and very very
simple. We could call it Class B plus!!!
Gov is happy everybody has a transponder on and being tracked, only
enter by permission, and it would not be restricted airspace. Would it be a
pain..sure Class B can be..would it be a no fly zone...NOPE. Problem solved.
Sometimes the simplicity of a solution is the hardest to get people to
see,.....especially CONGRESS!
Just change the rules of DC's Class B...no need to reinvent the wheel.
With the stroke of a pen and changing the charts and POOF we have the DC
Bplus!!! Still may not be perfect but it frees pilots some, and still offers
the same security the politicians want(so it appears they have done
something!)

How About This,
You get more flies with honey than vinegar approach, mention that as
Class B airspace , every plane has to have approval from ATC before
entering the airspace. So if the entire point of the ADIZ is to know
which planes are there, then the Class B does that just because you must
have permission to enter Class B and you must have a transponder.

The problem with that is that the class B airspace does not extend to the
ground at the perimeter, nor does it extend above 10,000'. If you change
the class B to do this, you have almost the existing ADIZ, so why make
that change?
