Let's take the silly ones first:

No freedoms are silly when they are taken away.

1. I recently flew over Washington, DC. It was bone-simple.

Did you really? I just got off the phone with the Leesburg FSS to check my
info. They tell me that ABSOLUTELY NO VFR flight is permitted in the FRZ,
except for based aircraft whose pilots have undergone a background check,
received a PIN number for that flight, received permission for conducting
that flight, and have previously visited the airport (there's one in
particular, but I didn't ask) IN PERSON to make application, which means
driving in the first time. This is not "bone simple".

IFR flight is not permitted either, unless one is going into National, and
in that case you must land outside the ADIZ and pick up an armed flight
marshall who will fly aboard your aircraft while you fly into the FRZ.

I remember you made a big deal out of going to Dulles, for a special event
where the way was paved for you. But that's not the same as flying over
the Nation's Capital. Washington DC is =inside= the FRZ.

AFAIK, the Capitol and the White House have always been under a P-XXXX
designation, have they not?
