Just to clarify: is this for things like "anti-terrorism" purposes or to prevent "accidental" infringements?

In other words, are we talking about a pilot who is dedicated to flying over (or into) a prohibited area, or a pilot who simply got lost?

If it's a pilot who simply got lost, we probably have to think about ways to get his attention and show him the way out.

But if it's a pilot who wants to be there, despite the consequences, the problem becomes far more complex. You cannot simply take over control of a light aircraft since most of them don't have autopilots, fly-by-wire or anything. It's all mechanical.

Promises to be an interesting thread.
