A thousand incursions a year?

Earlier this evening I was watching the program "Discoveries
This Week" on the Science Channel. The first segment was about
the visual laser warning system being put in the ADIZ. All the
reported errors about the lasers I'm addressing in alt.lasers.

However, I wanted to mention here that some official involved in
the deomonstration flights to the media said that ADIZ incursions
are an almost daily occurence, saying that he thinks the actual
number is about a thousand per yer.

The blame is put on uneducated and uninformed pilots, which is
probably true.

But my point is, if there's a thousand incursions a year, what
does that say about the effectiveness and usefulness of the
ADIZ? My opinion is that it proves it's uselessness.

BTW, this program is repeated multiple times over the weekend
so if you get the channel you might be able to catch the show
yourself.
