but gosh, it's hard to miss a city.

Actually, it's quite rural around the boundaries of the DC ADIZ.

But 600? That's ineptitude on a grand scale

Well, something's broke. Maybe it's not the pilots? Last time I was in the DC
area ATC was talking about scrambling jets becuase a pilot was confused about
which code he was supposed to use (they gave him two - one at the start of the
flight for the ADIZ and one when he was approaching it)

I'd like to know how many terrorists were stopped by these intercepts.

It's real easy to sit on a high horse. But you make mistakes too. (and by
"you" I mean every reader here, including me) And the mistake you're most
likely to make next is the one you don't think you'll ever make because you
know better.
