Angry Lightie flies near White House - who cares

Listened to news this morning supposedly of international importance that stunned me on several levels. A light aircraft with two allegedly non-ragheads (I believe this is an official ONS descriptor) flew within 5km of the resident/office of the US president, who wasn't there.

Said bugsmasher, with the destructive potential of a Honda Civic, is intercepted by 2 F-16 and a Blackhawk, occupants apprehended.

White House evacuated

Congress halted

Dubbya accused of not having his hands on the levers for not giving the order to shoot the poor b@stards down!!!

What a bunch of crap!!! Why is this news???

I have endured a meeting or two with a certain local Dick head where he whines that he could fly where he liked in the US and in Australia he couldn't fly over Pine Gap. Suggest he gets over there and gives it a go. Make sure you get a letter of introduction from John Anderson for Dubbya so he can show he has his hand on his lever next time.
