What a lie? US ADIZ applies to all aircraft. Not only commercial.
As if Vietnam and Philippine has support of the rest of the world for their SCS claim?
Better change the Wiki entry then...
"The
Air Defense Identification Zone (
ADIZ) is an area surrounding much of
North America – namely
airspace surrounding the
United States and
Canada – in which the ready identification, location, and control of
civil aircraft over land or water is required in the interest of
national security.
[1] This ADIZ is jointly administered by the civilian air traffic control authorities and the militaries of both nations, under the auspices of the
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) handles the requests of international aircraft and
Transport Canada handles Canadian requests. Any aircraft flying in these zones without authorization may be identified as a threat and treated as an enemy aircraft, potentially leading to interception by
fighter aircraft.
An aircraft entering an ADIZ is required to radio its planned course, destination, and any additional details about its trip through the ADIZ to a higher authority, typically an
air traffic controller. The aircraft must also be equipped with a radar
transponder."
Civil aircraft have to report in, Military aircraft are not required to do anything.
All aircraft are subject to interception, but normally would not happen for a civilian aircraft
which has reported in.
