I always wonder what the public will think of Cessna 152 parts and flaming
SAM fuel raining down on their heads when and if one is ever launched.

I don't believe that is the purpose of the DC ADIZ; it is the purpose
of the FRZ. There are SAM missiles for stopping unidentified
intentional intrusions into the FRZ. The ADIZ serves to provide
Customs with an opportunity to identify flights as friend or foe
before they penetrate the FRZ and are shot down.

That's the point I'm getting to- Customs, or whoever is on duty, won't
have
time or equipment to identify the intruder. It happens on the borders
quite
often. The SAMs are likely capable of taking out the target, but will the
launch personnel have authorization before it's too late when Customs or
whoever is on duty fails to properly identify the target as friend or foe?

It's a completely uninspired system concept that is so flawed as to be
incapable of accomplishing its purpose and only impacts the innocent.

Agreed, its a hysterical kneejerk reaction from politicians who don't have
a
clue.

Given the SS policy of evacuating the bureau crafts from the safety of
their buildings and their running around outside at the slightest hint
of an approaching 1,600 pound aircraft, their behavior is consistent
with someone wishing to bathe in a deluge of aircraft debris and fuel.
