Certainly. NPR didn't state "several security people stated", they played
recordings of the hearings and identified the speakers. In other words, I
heard some of the people responsible for getting the ADIZ set up state
that the purpose was to reduce the number of radar targets and make sure
that there were no unidentified primary radar echoes.

Other ways of accomplishing this have been suggested.

That's as may be, but the fact is that *they* say that *they* did it for
*this* reason.

They may have said it but it still doesn't make sense. That makes it less
than credible. Were these "security people" aviation experts?
