This is not a constructive attitude, IMHO. Railing against the darkness
helps not...

How does benign complacency help?

One person's "benign complacency" is another person's "following the rules."

Or are you advocating that we all bust the ADIZ to prove your point?

I'm sorry you missed my point.

What I found unacceptable is your apparent ready willingness to endure
without protest an ill conceived encroachment on the rights of airmen
under penalty of death, that fails to provide any modicum of deterrent
to those with evil intent. The DC ADIZ only serves as a palliative
for the uninformed to provide the appearance of effective action by a
government agency charged with an impossible task. If we become
benignly complacent toward such encroachments, we patently approve and
endorse them, and send the message that thinking airmen are eager and
willing dupes in the TSA's game of posturing before the public for
theatric effect.

Although the quoted part of your message to which I was responding
makes no reference to not following the rules, perhaps your suggestion
of a mass pilot civil disobedience protest may have some merit.
Railing against the darkness of stupid, lethal policies implemented by
our government is the only power we posses to bring the brutish nature
of this offending ADIZ out into the light of public scrutiny.
