ANd in fact, if you recall, a few years ago a kid named matthias Kessler from Germany, as I recall, did fly a cessna right into red square and land it.
ANyone that thinks NORAD or nayone else can keep track of every small private aricraft and be prepared to "do something' whenever it veers towards a city or below 500 feet is in dreamland. It cannot be done. There are a number of airports near manhattan, and this accident ocurred on the upper East side, right along the river. I don't care which party is in power, this sort of reconnaisance simply cannot be done at any reasonable cost.
