Armed secret service agents running around West lawn with guns drawn.

This is bizarre. ABC news broadcast this at the top of the hour, but I can't find anything anywhere on the net.
I'm still sober, too... ;-)

Air Force Jets Intercept Plane Straying Near White House
The Associated Press
Published: Nov 10, 2003
WASHINGTON (AP) - Air Force fighter jets were scrambled Monday to intercept a privately owned plane that flew too close to the White House, the Secret Service said.
President Bush was away at the time, on a trip to Arkansas and South Carolina.
The privately owned plane was detected flying in a southwest direction, coming down the Potomac River, when it entered restricted airspace, said Secret Service spokeswoman Jean Mitchell.
The fighters were scrambled from nearby Andrews Air Force in Maryland and they intercepted the plane, escorting it out of the area, she said.
"Anytime we have an airspace violation, we take it very seriously," Mitchell said. "At this point we don't know if it was a mistake."
She said the pilot would be questioned

I wonder how an Air Force jet slows down enough to intercept a single engine plane? Reminds me of ths Simpson's episode where the Air Force decided it was easier to get out and walk when the plane was going too slow to intercept.
