You'd think with the proliferation of quadcopters and the like the U.S capital would have better means to detect small aircraft than the Mk I Eyeball, but nope. Gyrocopter breached airpsace and made an unathourized landing at the capital building
Hilariously, bomb technicians were sent in to inspect the aircraft to explosives
