Bidens briefly moved to secure location after plane entered restricted airspace near beach house

Source: CBS News

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden were transported to a safe location for about 30 minutes on Saturday due to a plane entering the secure airspace over the family's Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, house.

The White House said in a statement that "a small private plane entered restricted airspace, all indications are by mistake, and precautionary measures were taken."

"There was no threat to the President or his family," the White House added.

The Bidens left the secure location at 1:29pm ET. The White House confirmed they went back to their residence by around 2:05 p.m. ET.

As I understand, they'll scramble a pair of F-16s as part of a CAP when they "escort" some dumbass to the ground who would probably shit their pants seeing them suddenly show up right alongside them.

The Secret Service, probably the Air Force and certainly from the FAA. Get a ding like that on your private pilot's license and you may not have it for long...especially if it ever happens again.
