On Saturday, June 18th, a small aircraft entered restricted airspace near the US capitol. The private plane was intercepted by Coast Guard Helicopters. The plane was diverted to Annapolis by the chopper where the pilot was to be met by local law enforcement...big trouble. This type of infraction may come with a stiff penalty; though no official statement has been released. No one has commented regarding the reason for the pilot's "mishap", but with terrorist activity on the minds of US intelligence since the rise of the new Taliban leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, this seemingly insignificant event did raise some eyebrows at Homeland Security. This incident has occurred a few times in the last year. Could this have been a test to see how the US would respond if restricted airspace was breached? Or was it merely an accidental miscalculation by a careless pilot?
