Flying the ADIZ is simple. File, talk, squawk.

Oh, you forgot the important part: If you should happen to
accidentally stumble into the DC ADIZ, you are subject to your
government's military hardware intentionally shooting you down
in the name of security.


Exactly how many times has our government's military hardware
intentionally shot down someone penetrating the DC ADIZ?


The fact that within the short period of time the DC ADIZ has been
in effect there have yet been no shoot downs is not the point.


If there are any terrorists considering using a GA aircraft against DC the
fact that no aircraft has yet been shot down is probably something of which
they are very aware. I doubt if anyone wants to be responsible for shooting
down an innocent aircraft. Yet that very hesitation will benefit the one
aircraft that does try to do something. I wonder what a King Air fully
loaded with explosives and fuel would do to the White House? According to
AOPA, since it is a GA aircraft it should have no effect.
