Wink Pan Am Intercepted KFPR!

Flying near to Fort Pierce this morning, when I noticed 2 F16's flying nearby! There's a power station in nearby port st.lucie that has had a restriction imposed around it for some time due to Sept 11th.
Whilst listening to Tower I hear, "Tower! I've got an F16 on my right wing! What shall I do?!!", the Tower replied in his South Florida Drawl, "Hell I don't know, I guess you're cleared to land!"
Personally, had it been I that was intercepted, I probably would have !!!!! myself, but then I would have read my Notams, and kept well clear!
Let that be a lesson to those (few) Pilots who don't bother with the Notams.
