Here's evidence why the gov't assholes overreacted.

When a society reaches the point that it is willing to put a 19 year
old kid in a humvee in a foreign country and order him to drive down a

road where he will be shot at, or blown up, while at the same time the

50 year olds who put him in that humvee are fleeing like rabbits
because someone in a spam can Cessna got within ten miles of them,
then
it is clear that 'insurgents' have won the war even if the battles
still go on...

So I understand you didn't care for FDR and Truman for the same reason?
How many of those 50 year olds knew it was a C150? None! The capitol
police were running around and shouting as though a nuclear warhead was
on its way. Lets see if and how the authoritys ask how it is the
nations capital was disrupted for such a small aircraft. Also how is
it that a small plane can get withen 3 miles. Surely a jetliner flying
almost 5 times faster could have made it all the way.
