USAF are actually quite helpful for Cessna pilots....

Last night a poor Cessna pilot travelling from Massachusetts to North Carolina got a little lost and flew too close to the White House, causing it's evacuation. Two F-16's were scrambled (probably from Langley AFB, do they keep F-16's at Andrews AFB?) and intercepted this gentleman and escort him to an airfield in Richmond, VA. Where apparently it truly was a matter of being lost.
In this day and age I would have soiled myself if I was the Cessna pilot and two F-16's pulled up.
