Perhaps I'm reading to much into what I've read, but I don't think
Sheaffer was aware of the existence of the ADIZ at all before he
departed. If so, it's difficult to accept that he intentionally
entered it.

Mike's statement is probably better phrased as "he intentionally flew into
the area in which the ADIZ exists".

Whether that makes a difference for the ASRS form, I don't know. I suspect
it does...that is, the *violation* was not intentional, even if the act that
led to it was. And it is an intentional violation that is excepted from the
protection of submitting the form (which is, I think, the point you are
making?).

I'm too lazy to go look at the exact wording now, but I wouldn't be
surprised if there's some language in the other exceptions that would have
disallowed this particular violation, given how egregious it was.
