You're right. Why didn't this student (Martin)? Why didn't Shaeffer?

I agree that they're idiots. But I was referring to the entire US
Government effort directed at intercepting them. This incursion was a
foreseeable occurrance and they seriously botched it.

Funny. Isn't that what you're doing?

Hardly.

The fact remains Shaeffer screwed us all with this stunt and largely
because of him (and the overreaction by DC officials), we face a
*permanent* ADIZ. Now you come along and appear sympathetic to him.

I don't much care about him. He got a bit worse than I think he deserved.
But not as bad as he could have. Any interaction with law enforcement is
like that. This was fairly ordinary.

Let him cry on your shoulder, if you'd like. I'm too busy dealing with
the consequences of his actions to be sympathetic to him in the least.

Godlike.
