I have to admire this guy's chutzpah, but he's really lucky he didn't meet the business end of a Stinger missile.

It is called civil disobedience. We have a lot to learn from MLK. Peaceful and effective...and it is starting.

I just heard on local WSBA news that he launched from Gettysburg Airport, about 35 miles west of me. Heh.

We spend billions of dollars so TSA agents can pat down grandmothers but cannot protect the very heart of our national government. Pathetic.

But did he have a heat signature large enough for a Stinger missile to lock on to?

He would have become a martyr for the cause of campaign finance reform. Then things would have gotten REALLY interesting.
For that reason I suspect it was not his idea and he was put up to this by some provocateur.

Stinger likely wouldn’t even have locked on. Exhaust would probably be too small, too diffuse, and the wrong temperature range for a heat-seeker.
Radar-seeking wouldn’t be much better: not a lot of radar-cross-section to lock on to.
The proper defense against this type of threat is probably low-caliber AAA, either .50 cal or 20MM. Of course, then there’s the problem of what happens to the shells that miss, in a densely-populated urban area. . . .
