Speaking of technology, what about "flight following"?


Only if ATC can handle the traffic.

Otherwise, from what I understand, you cannot enter the ADIZ unless you are
squawking and talking.



I think the point about flight following is that the pilots in question
likely would have been alerted to the fact that they were going to bust
it before they busted it. They didn't need to go through it, just
around it.

Since it apparently took them a while to tune in to 121.50 after the
intercept, I doubt they were talking or listening to anything useful on
the radio.
