The White House is being evacuated due to a TFR or ADIZ incursion. From http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,103616,00.html WASHINGTON — At least part of the White House (search) was evacuated Thursday after a false radar reading mistakenly indicated that a plane flew within five miles of restricted airspace around the complex, officials said. "It's a false radar target," said William Shumann, Federal Aviation Administration (search) spokesman. "When the NORAD fighters got to the location of the alleged violation, they found nothing." The North American Aerospace Defense Command (search), or NORAD, is the command center for the defense of U.S. and Canadian airspacursday morning. An aide to President Bush said that staffers were told to go to a nearby street but were allowed to go back to their desks a short time later. The president was traveling in Britain at the time. Many of his top aides also were on the trip and not in the building. "The threat level was never raised," Mitchell said. On Nov. 10, Air Force fighter jets scrambled to intercept a private plane that flew too close to the White House. The plane was later determined not to be a threat. The president was away then, also, on a trip to Arkansas and South Carolina. |

No airplane, but perhaps a flock of birds or something. Now our fearless leaders are running from shadows and ghosts. Not that a real airplane was much threat to them. |

Yeah, probably another case of the mysterious November Golf Hotel Oscar

I believe, that if the intruder aircraft is able to communicate with the intercepting aircraft on 121.5, and its pilot complies with instructions, the likelihood is not too great that an innocent 'intruder' will be downed. It is to the advantage of the errant intruding flight, that it be detected and challenged as near as possible to the time it enterers the TFR. It would be my guess, that the shoot-down trigger is expressed as a distance from a specific point; any unidentified aircraft within that distance is probably deemed a threat and therefore a target. But, I'm just gussin'. |
