Airspace security has been a joke since the end of the cold war, maybe even before that. Massive holes in surveillance, and the inability to scramble quickly even if an unknown is detected. The government knows this, but haven't made any moves to correct this.

If this had been a hostile, or a spoofed bird like Russia's invasion of Afghanistan, there would have been little we could do about it.
