IIRC, the first plane that intercepted Payne's plane was an F-16 already in the air and in the general vicinity (on a test run flown by a test pilot?). That cuts significant time off having to scramble a jet from the ground... and it still took them over an hour.

A significant weakness in the US' internal air defense doesn't equal a conspiracy and Ventura point out that weakness doesn't support a conspiracy.
