Appropriate punishment for airspace violations?

I'm don't want to praise airspace violations, but the people who ``put
the nails in our coffin'' are those who invent new restrictions without
any sense. E.g., the Restr. areas around German nuclear power plants.
Or the new vigourous controls for GA passengers (also Germany). Or
the abolishment of cockpit visits.

Forget about the tiny German restriction around nuclear power plants.
In France the diameter of the restircted airsapce around a nuclear
power plant is 20 (!) kilometers.

What worries me a lot more than restricted airspace itself is the
extreme stupidity of the people to decide about such measures.

Hmmm...

In case of suspected attempts to hijack an airliner:

1. Light the "fasten seatbelt" sign, alert the cabin
that those passengers not wearing a seatbelt will be
killed in ten seconds.

2. Ten seconds later, depressurize the cabin. At
FL 300+, this should do nicely

3. Full left rudder, then full right rudder. Then stabilize
for a few seconds, then invert and repeat. Practice in the
simulator helps.

4. Roll upright, wait a minute, then send the copilot back
in the cabin with the portable oxygen. Using the fire axe,
chop hard at the neck of anyone not belted. Repeat as needed.
Stun guns that shoot projectile darts can also be used.

5. Alternately, continue to use exciting rudder until landing.

I'm guessing future terrorists will be more interested in
renting a large moving van and buying fertilizer...

Applying this procedure to any Airbus aircraft will result in loosing the
tail.
Since it is not a necessary piece of equipment when being hijacked, go for
it!

It is?

I know that during the Junior worlds, they often picked up
thermals over the cooling towers.

Height restriction is 3.500 ft.
When my club was at vacation at Chauvigny this summer, the local
pilots were concerned that one might be tracked by radar if one enters
the restricted airspace around a nuclear power plant.
