To me this sounds deliberate. Probably some left wing nutjob.

From kristinn description in post #17, you may be on to something.

Yeah. I say he walks. Some leftie terrorist sympathizer will take his case and the terrorists will consider it to be a test.

In further developments, after seeing the fighter escort to take him to the airport, the pilot's first request upon landing was for a fresh set of undershorts....

In other words, there was an evacuation outside of the White House.

Maybe he was drunk. We had a guy here in PA who was flying drunk and almost had a mid-air collision. His newly-dried-out butt is now in jail.

Anyone can be Islamic. Did he look like he was from the Middle East? Hard to tell. He had brown, curly hair as best as I could tell.

Immediately after 911 the media was pushing for a ban of light aircraft, since they could be used for a 911 type attack.

They are useless as a battering ram, and have slightly better payload then a wheel barrel. If a Cessna 150 is a weapon, a 1969 Olds 88 is a WMD.

A few months after 9/11, a co-worker went to Vermont to pick up his reconditioned Russian Yak-52. Newly rebuilt with glorious Soviet war paint.

He was still trying to figure out how the radio work when he approached DC. He knew to stay away from the district but had wandered over some other no-fly zone in the process.

A shadow fell over him and he looked up to see the underbelly of an A-10 Warthog, another was postitioned beneath him.

He finally found the right freq and made haste out of the no fly zone.

not my friend's bird, but the same model

Yep. Idiot at WH press conference asks, 'What does it say about our country that we can be rattled by a Cessna?'
