This one actually had a few potential and serious targets. It did not respond to anyone until after an exvacuation of the Capitol and White House started and only after Coast Guard helicopters finally appeared on its wings.
Ho hum. A stole Cessan in North America that has no viable targets - that is a threat to no one - is hyped as if Al Qaeda was massing to kill us all. A non-event. Two planes threaten restricted airspace in Washington. The second gets even less response now that we realize the silliness of that Canadian Cessna threatening to take out a non-existant skyscraper.
F-16s dispatched to intercept errant planes has become quite routine. We would not be discussing any of this except that extremists need us to fear evil. Canadian Cessna was a non-event to most. It would have never even been posted but for classicman. And that is the point. Extremists are still hyping fear and hate at every opportunity.
Well, at least Hillary did not get blamed this time.
