This attitude of "I don't need no stinking whiz bang GPS", followed by
busting restricted space, followed by, "I am going to fight you to the
death on trying to violate me": I think cases like this hurt the survival
of free flight that I love.



Nothing will hurt the survival of free flight (or the survival of free
anything) any more than will the imposition of meaningless feel-good
regulations that have questionable social or scientific value. Certain
rules are necessary, but many are not, and all should be continuously
monitored and questioned.

As I said before, as long as there are rules, there will be violations...
there are in every walk of life, its inevitable. That's why we invent
enforcement and justice systems. In spite of them, Washington still has to
live with something like 250 murders per year; it can live with a few dozen
or even a few hundred ADIZ incursions. If the murderers have the right to
all the usual legal defence manoeuvrings within the rules of justice, so do
the aviators.
