I'd imagine that once the CAA is equipped with the ability to detect and identify airspace busts then they'll be able to prosecute offenders more easily. Guess that's a 'benefit' of all aircraft having Mode-S and 24-bit idents built-in. Rather like speed cameras, it'll provide a great revenue opportunity and will avoid the need for pilots to be retrained or learn from their mistakes - doesn't matter why you busted airspace (e.g. genuine mistake), fact is you did. Just like doesn't matter that you broke the speed limit because you thought you were in a 40 zone when it was actually a 30.
