It's easy to do it once or twice, but doing it every day for years is a
different story. People get violated on a fairly regular basis, even
though they didn't do anything wrong. Equipment hicups, controller
errors, etc are all blamed on the pilot. If you live in the DC area,
there's a good chance it'll eventually get you. I've even known a head
flight instructor of a flight school, that flys in the ADIZ multiple
times a day, get violated. Here's a little story that I got off the
DCpilot's discussion group just this morning:

The forces of darkness didn't even use vaseline this
time..........................

Scary story snipped

I know it's a PIA to have to make a phone call before every flight.
It's an ineffective rule, and I would not like it much, either.

But this is far from validating MX's claim that America is no longer
"free". It's a relatively minor inconvenience that -- if it makes it
possible for us to still fly near Washington, D.C. -- seems like a
small price to pay.

The story guy's experience in the ADIZ. I have no idea what
happened with this guy, but I've learned to take these things with a
large grain of salt. I've seen too many rules broken to automatically
believe one side of the story or another.

All I know is that I found it to be real no-brainer, little different
from how I fly in Iowa.
