Naturally the FAA will want to come down hard on this guy. But that has
no bearing on whether they can take any action against him if he meets

an ASRS report by the deadline.)

Well, they've done it before.

TFRs, ASRS, And Avoiding Enforcement Action...

No, that article doesn't say they've done it before. The article does not
assert that any pilot who met the ASRS immunity conditions was denied
immunity for busting an ADIZ or FRZ. True, the article does quote an FAA
spokesperson as *guessing* that some pilots who filed ASRS reports "might"
have been denied immunity because they failed to get proper preflight
briefings (rather than because they failed to meet the stated immunity
conditions). But even if the quote is accurate (which is uncertain), all we
have is an implausible speculation by a random spokesperson; there is no
assertion (as opposed to a mere guess)--and certainly no evidence--that any
such denial of promised immunity has ever succeeded, or has even been
attempted, or that it could withstand judicial review.
