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?


By the way what are you Capt. of?


Not extreme at all. You are too trusting of the govt bureaucracy. If the DC
area is made permanent you can bet that they will attempt to do the same
with Class B and maybe Class C. Just look at Chicago. The mayor has
repeatedly asked the govt to "protect" the area with airspace
connfigurations like D.C.

It will spread like a plague.

This country is slowly becoming a military state. At the current pace,
by this time next century, the Bill of Rights will have been repealed.
(Rather, the rest of the Bill of Rights will have been repealed.)

This is just one more example of it. It only seems to be an "aviation
only" issue on the surface. The ramifications run much deeper. It
won't be long before you will need to stop and show your papers to enter DC.

If the ADIZ over Northern Virginia, Maryland, and DC is made permanent,
a precedent will have been set that will allow other cities to do the
same. The most frustrating part about it is that it does absolutely
nothing to improve security. Like the majority of the airport security
checks, it's just to make the average person feel safer. If someone
wanted to hijack a plane and fly it into the White House, they could do
it just as easily today as they could have five years ago. Anyone who
thinks that the airport security checks and ADIZ do anything to prevent
that is a blind fool.
