Not anything credible.

Here's the poop from AOPA:
*********************************
Washington ADIZ incursion causes alert
AOPA reminds pilots of obligations, tools to avoid incursions
Nov. 10 - Air National Guard fighter pilots on Monday intercepted a general
aviation aircraft that had violated the no-fly zone at the heart of the
Baltimore-Washington Air Defense Identification Zone, determined that the
aircraft posed no threat, and escorted the pilot out.

"While we don't yet know why the aircraft strayed into the ADIZ, the system
worked as designed," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "Air traffic
controllers identified a potential threat. The military responded with
appropriate force and appropriate restraint and, after determining that the
pilot posed no threat, escorted him out of the ADIZ and let him go on his
way."

What convinced the fighter pilots that it was an inadvertent incursion was
apparently that the GA pilot saw and complied with their intercept signals.
[The AOPA Air Safety Foundation has prepared an intercept procedures card
(requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).]

AOPA continues to remind pilots that it is their obligation to know about
and avoid all flight-restricted areas. And the association has been
extraordinarily proactive in providing pilots with the tools and information
they need to do so, including the new AOPA Real Time Flight Planner, which
provides up-to-minute graphical depictions of temporary flight restriction
(TFR) locations.
