I agree. However, freedom has nothing to do with your agenda. And I must have missed your answer to my question. Please repeat.

I can only assume that since NORAD is tracking the aircraft, they know what type it is more or less from the size of the primary return, the airspeed and the rate of climb, if not from it's flight plan. One would hope that such information would be passed on to the SS.

Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf?

In the last two years, there have been several of these false alarms per day. It's not hard to imagine what the Secret Service are saying under their breath every time one of these calls comes in.

You know, it's inevitable that an innocent family in a private aircraft is going to be downed sooner or later for straying too close to the White House. I wonder how many of the folks on this thread will applaud.
