Dangerous Cessna evacuates govt again

The latest report on WTOP (news station in DC) was that the aircraft WAS
squawking the correct code, but that there was some sort of communications
problem. I'm glad to see that everyone was so willing to jump on top of
our brother pilots.

A communication problem is no excuse for doing what they did. These guys
are from the area and have no excuse for not knowing about the restricted
area. They aren't my brothers,

Some reports say that they, in fact, had an ADIZ squawk code. That would
suggest that they were atleast trying to do follow the correct procedure.
It would be nice if we allowed them to be innocent until proven
guilty. Human beings make mistakes, occasionally.

It doesn't appear to be at question whether or not they penetrated the
restricted (prohibited?) area. Therefore, they are guilty period. It
was probably not intentional, but that has no bearing on guilt or
innocence in this case. If they flew into the area, they are guilty.
It really is that simple.

There is absolutely no doubt they are guilty. Humans make mistakes and in
this country must often suffer the consequences for those mistakes. Ooooops
I made a mistake is not something a judge or jury is going to accept as a
defense.

If you're referring to criminal guilt ("judge or jury"), do you have a
statute in mind? The FBI has already concluded that since the incursion was
unintentional, no criminal charges will be filed.

I surely hope the FAA takes a firmer stance.

Why?

If the FAA goes lightly, it will go a long way to showing that light
aircraft do indeed pose little problem, and possibly the rest of GA can get
on with its life without this pervasive sense of fear.
