Granted, the current rules are nonsense but that doesn't give these two
nitwits the go ahead to fly into the restricted area. That's not how you
fix stupid rules. That's how you get more stupid rules.


Just idly thinking here after two glasses of wine, but what if =all= the
spam cans in the country formed a line and flew directly over the white
house at 2000 feet with no transponder code and no clearance, and kept
doing it even as we were being shot down? What do you think the eventual
effect of this would be?


I love it: America hasn't had a decent civil disobedience protest for a
while.

The French population tried it on the Bastille in 1789.

The US civil rights movement tried it many times during the 1950's and 60's.

The students of Kent State tried it May 4, 1970. Americans killed 4 of
them.

From the outside looking in, I would expect the result to be similar to Kent
State. A few Americans may die. The population may be outraged and
recognize the futility of their government's policies, or it may nod its
head sagely and say the pilots had it coming. It depends on whether they
value "freedom and democracy", or prefer feudal dependance.

Twenty or thirty years later everyone will wonder what all the fuss was
about, because by then some other equally "important" disaster will have
befallen.... and whether man-made or natural, physical or political or
economic, it will come from a totally unexpected and unplanned-for source.
