Spooky flights

The ADIZ alone affects 10,000 pilots. You don't represent 99.9% of

Alright, according to Wikipedia there are 609,000 active pilots. You do
the math.
You live and fly in the middle of nowhere.
Good for you, but most people don't. Most pilots in this country live
near cities, and that means NFL TFRs, MLB TFRs, NASCAR TFRs, NCAA
TFRs,
3 mile radius for a few hours at a time. Big deal. I live in fire
country. We have more TFR's for that than all the rest of the TFR's put
together and the sizes and the shapes vary.
And the worst thing is that since 9-11, the ideas of due process and
presumed innocence are gone, as are any consideration of
circumstances. Accused drug dealers get more breaks than pilots in
these airspace violation hearings.
Those are criminal proceedings, pilot errors are administrative. Always
have been. Nothing changed there.
