Mending the broken f/up

Some more information about the Capitol building and White House evacs today:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two people were taken into custody Wednesday after their plane violated restricted airspace over Washington, causing evacuations of the White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court, officials said.

A handcuffed man, wearing shorts and a short-sleeve shirt was seen being led into a police car after fighter jets forced the plane to land on the runway of an airport in Frederick, Maryland.

President Bush was not at the White House during the incident and Vice President Dick Cheney was moved to a secure location for a brief time, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

The plane flew within three miles of the White House, prompting officials to raise the color-coded terror alert for a few minutes, McClellan.

F-16 jets and a Black Hawk helicopter intercepted the Cessna. The Cessna 150 is registered to the Vintage Aero Club in Smoketown, Pennsylvania, according to Federal Aviation Administration records. Rest of the story
Hmm, sketchy. Perhaps one of those "let's see if we can carry boxcutters through airport security" jobies? Not sure what people are thinking when they do things just to see what will happen. Maybe they like federal pound me in the ass prison. (warning, that's a .wav file)

Oy! Was looking for a link to reference the quote above and found the entire Office Space script! Score. :)
