of the white house a few weeks ago -- >> i'm not sure there's any indication that any aircraft of any size would be stopped if it went to the capitol or the white house or -- what plans are there, what aircraft would be deployed how would it deal with the enemy aircraft in the air? we've seen no indication that they're prepared to do anything of the kind. >> in this particular case "the tampa bay times," we spoke with the reporter a few moments ago, the actual gyrocopter landed outside the u.s. capitol -- on the u.s. capitol grounds around 1:30. but at noon they posted this was all going down and at 1:00 half an hour before it landed they called the secret service and wanted to get reaction from them. in effect they were alerting the secret service to what was going on. we don't know if they scrambled or did anything. >> and the reaction on the ground it's clear no one was expecting this. >> when you watch that video, it takes a minute or two for the squads to even find -- it's like it lands there, the rotor is spinning and -- >> nobody is there.
