Default Another ADIZ violation?

10 Steps To Deal With a ADIZ Violation (from a pilot's perspective):

1. Thou shalt whip out your cell phone and immediately start calling
major media outfits to get a sympathetic side of the story out ASAP,
even before you've landed (or been shot down). Hey, free advertising.

2. Thou shalt plead abject ignorance as to how you busted an ADIZ.

Be like that cool gentleman whom had a nice tour around the Statue of
Liberty, "forgot" to talk to ATC, "forgot" lost procedures, and then
claimed he honestly didn't know where he was despite the abundance of
unique and prominent ground reference points in VMC.

3. Thou shalt immediately execute an Immelmann to exit the ADIZ. After
all, you've got armed men in much faster fighter jets chasing you!

Put on your flyin' goggles and go inverted in your SuperCub.

4. Thou shalt have a more competent and cool-headed passenger
(preferrably at least a student pilot) to fly you out of there when
you hit mental vapor lock.

5. Thou shalt *NOT* have a current map. Real Men don't need no stinkin' maps!

6. If thou play paper-scissors-rock with the nice F-16 fighters behind
you, assume that you're the paper and will lose every single time.

7. Thou shalt *NOT* study AIM section 5-6-2 ("Intercept Procedures");
information like that is, too, for wimps!

8. Don't bother the ATC controllers. They're too busy dealing with big
jets in a busy airspace to listen to puddlejumpers like you.

9. Play a game of 'Sneak in Like The Mossad' and test the detection and
response systems to make sure it's "up to par". (Also see the entry
under 'reporters: favorite tactics'.) It helps not to file flight
plans and blunder into the ADIZ. Who needs AWACS, after all?

10. Do all of the above at least thrice, preferrably at least five times.
Hey, practice makes perfect, right? It also helps clean up the gene
pool, too.

(Note: all of the above written entirely in jest. Better summary: "What
*NOT* to do regarding an ADIZ bust.")
