Air Force Scrambles F-22's Jets To Intercept 2 Planes Violating No Fly Zone Over U.N. General Assembly In New York

You do know the f-22's top speed is still classified.
Have any of these interceptions actually saved anyone or anything from a genuine terrorist? Or are they just to give the Air Force boys some practice? And get the Homeland Security folks some publicity? The gov't needs to come up with a foolproof way to get the information to pilots before their flights. How? I don't know - but where there's a will, there's a way. I know I'm getting forgetful as I get older, and sometimes don't check, but this kind stuff subjects me to a fine, possible jail time, and loss of ticket. I try to stay away from politicos whether or not there any restrictions, but I'm afraid I'll slip up someday . . .
From what I can tell, these were never actual security threats, no matter how much embellishment is added to the story. Is there a real story here or just self-promotion?
.....and then the 2 F-22 Pilots passed out due to faulty Oxygen Equipment again.......
They should have bombed the rat hole !
