Not allowed to use private submarines on the Potomoc? Other watercraft
are allowed? How about scuba diving?


Actually skinny dipping is preferred to private watercraft. It actually is
beneficial if you urinate in the river. Noted upgrade in water quality.

But not in the Reflecting Pool of teh Washington Monument - unless
you're the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Comittee, and are
occompanied by a Stripper from Boston.

There is no issue to address. Your entire scenario is specious.
There is no "code to be punched in" when approaching a given airspace,
and the Pentagon was not defended by SAM emplacements prior to 9/11.
As such, you are asking someone to defend something that didn't happen
with a system that doesn't exist.

I know I'm way out of date, but no IFF any more (or its equivalent)? Just free
wheeling all over our airspace?

Uh, yeah. It's the "Open Skies" policy that was initiated in the Eisenhower
years.

Where have you been for the last fifty years?

Where have YOU been? Have you never heard of mode C, ADIZ or restricted,
prohibited or class A air space?

Civilian aircraft don't use IFF. Almost all aircraft use
transponders, however, which are typically set before takeoff
and changed infrequently in flight at the direction of ATC-
and their codes aren't used to authenticate identity in
the manner alleged by the moron who started this thread.

Military IFF systems also work differently than alleged
at the start of the thread. The encrypted Mode 4 is set
prior to takeoff (although on some aircraft you can reset
them in flight only because the actual equipment is inside
the pressure compartment) and changed on a time schedule
(typically Zulu day change).
