Were these "security people" aviation experts?

No. You are somehow under the impression that the ADIZ was set up for
aviation or by aviation experts? It was set up to protect the area *from*
aviation. From their viewpoint, we're lucky that anyone is allowed to fly
there at all. These are the same people that shut Reagan airport down
completely. If they had their way, it would still be closed -- opening it
required tremendous pressure from Congress.

I'm under the impression that it was set up for no legitimate security or
safety reasons. And, so far, I haven't seen any evidence that it was. And,
that's what I've been asking for.
