wrote in message Let's assume the prohibited zone was the old 3-mile ring. Now, a plane has just breached the outside edge of the ring. In 2 minutes it will be on top of the Capitol building. Yep. There are surface to air missiles available in that situation. But it's a patently bad idea to fire a SAM over a city if, say, F-16s are better able to assess the target. Other than the government freakout and the bumbling idiocy of the pilot, everything worked out just fine. -c
