All those people are worked up because Frederick, MD -- AOPA's home
base -- is right outside the ADIZ.

If AOPA was based in, say, Sacramento, or Des Moines, the Washington
ADIZ would not be nearly as big a deal for them.

Not that I'm saying it shouldn't be a concern for them, BTW.

Well, I'm talking about AOPA members who attend the annual meetings
that take place in places like San Diego and, most recently, Palm
Springs. They, for the most part, aren't from Frederick, and they're
concerned not just about the DC ADIZ, but all the popup TFRs, the
draconian enforcement mechanisms, and the nonsense of it all. And
they're correctly worried that the next ADIZ may indeed be put in
place in Sacramento or Des Moines. Do you recall watching Admiral
Stone's Q&A session in San Diego a few years ago? I'm sure AOPA
probably still has the video on their site somewhere. There were a
lot of ****ed off people, and they weren't from the DC area.

Are you saying that AOPA would not be concerned if there were an ADIZ
in every city with a population of, say, 100,000?
