So the DC ADIZ is not a sensible measure. But the airlines, airline

I'm largely with you but I just don't see this having to do anything
with the airlines. DCA was shut down for a long time after 9/11 which
damn near killed US Airways, among other things. This looks to me like
nothing more than a stupid internal bureaucracy at work.
