Cap, we are talking about the airspace in the DC area. You are
referring to all of the airspace class B and C. A little
extreme....no?

Even if the only airspace affected was that currently affected, this would
be a bad rule change. Especially when one considers that Congress is
*still* waiting to hear back from the DHS and FAA with respect to their
explanation for why the ADIZ is necessary in the first place.

The ADIZ does nothing to protect DC from terrorists, but it does provide a
lot of wasteful make-work for law enforcement, as well as is a fairly
onerous trap for pilots (unwary or otherwise).

However, it's certainly not a stretch to imagine that if the FAA is
successful in making permanent the DC area ADIZ, they would be pressured to
create similar ADIZ's elsewhere. Just because the current NPRM is only
proposing to make the DC ADIZ permanent, that doesn't mean it's not relevant
to airspace elsewhere.

If you are truly interested in the finer details of the issue, there has
been MORE than ample discussion right here in this newsgroup, time and time
again. Google Groups will show you everything that anyone could post in
response to your naive question.

By the way what are you Capt. of?

Why does it matter what he's a Captain of?
