2. The Cessna pilot was a professional
"It seems breathtaking carelessness that put the pilot where F-16s might come checking. The turbulence would be enough to scare you to death." 

3. He was under control
"If a controller let that pilot get so close to the White House that he could have done damage, the controller as well as the pilot could answer for it." The approach towards that small prohibted area starting only 15 miles from the White House must have been observed by ground control - it is their every day task. 
According to Bob Arnott of MSNBC, "Pilots are supposed to hit
each fix with pinpoint accuracy. If a plane deviates by 15 degrees, or two miles from that course, the flight controllers will hit the panic button.... It‚s considered a real emergency, like a police car screeching down a highway at 100 miles an hour." Routine response to such emergencies is to order "fighter-intercepts" into the air, to regain contact with the pilot, (NORAD spokesman, Boston Globe, 9/15/2000).
There are at least 3 indications that something is wrong for ground control: 
- change of height or course or wrong course, 
- the transponder off and 
- no radio contact anymore. 
If they had no radio contact they could not order the Cessna pilot out of the area. But if they saw the (slow!) approach towards Washington they must have tried to contact him, so they noticed the radio failed. Two indications! So there is no reasonable cause why the alarmbells did not ring at least (!!!) when he entered the area, so 7:59. Why did it take again 4 more minutes until they alarmed NORAD? Did they wait until it hit the even smaller 5-mile zone? Why - if they had no radio contact?

4. To publish the story is a "crime" itself
"Remember how right after 9/11, we were all warned to be on the alert for anyone curious about the structural engineering of skyscrapers? It seemed stupid, checking on load codes would be enough to get you a visit from the FBI, just to make sure you weren't planning to take down a landmark. Flash forward and they're telling this story about the wandering Cessna, which has also told terrorist wannabes how to get spores or other nasties to the White House. A small plane would probably not work now, but it sure looks as if radio controlled or semi-autonomous small drones could do the job." 

5. It is all standard - nothing new
This what happened to the Cessna is not a procedure installed after 9/11. It is logically and historically the standard operational procedure as Jared Israel proved in his www.tenc.net.
"Training flights & other sorties are routinely diverted when a priority exists. The procedure is that the the OPS Boss (with info from Command & Control) will give orders to radio to divert the training operation; or a request will be made by the pilot to deviate and then the request will go through the Ops Boss to command and control and will approve or disapprove the request. The officers are never really at liberty to act freely in these situations. Also the higher priority (or more important the event) the higher the request will go up the food chain before it is approved or denied - but food for thought. The argument that training flights were not able to be diverted does not hold water. Especially if they were already airborne. Also routine training happens on a routine schedule - there may be deviations from time to time -  maintainance, other training, etc. - but they are the military - they are on schedule - constantly. If they are SUPPOSED to be in the air - they ARE in the air. On a normal day under normal orders those flights are in the air the same time they were the day before & will be the next day as well." Was there not even one training flight on 9/11?

So - allthough the intention of that Cessna incident is obviously to implement a feeling of helplessness and to repeat the "tragic" "failures" and "lapses" of 911 - we can use the revelation which we have black on white now: not only OTIS AFB and Langley AFB, but also ANDREWS has and had interceptors. 

These guys are so transparent it's not even funny. 

 Flight 77 reached Ohio and turned around, heading back to Washington, DC around 8:55, we are told. At 9:06 the FAA reports that it ordered the air corridor from Cleveland, Ohio, to Washington, D.C. closed to all air traffic. (3) 

 We are told that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon around 9:45 Eastern time.  So here's the burning question: why weren't those combat jets which DCANG provided, "in the highest possible state of readiness" - why weren't those planes scrambled from Andrews Air Force Base *before* the Pentagon was hit?
