When they notice anomilies, IE; NOT civilian aircraft, they then notify Canadian and US goverments as to what cause of action to take, and to scramble fighters if told so by the military.
The other instances is when there is suspected drug trafficking flights. Then they notify CIVILIAN authorities and they take over from there.

Okay, I see the point you are trying to make, but is several planes going off of their registered flight plan not an anomoly? According to testimony given to the 9/11 Commission it was, but was not acted upon. Payne Stewart's jet was intercepted in a much more timely and orderly fashion, on the instructions of NORAD. NORAD did not act in the manner it was suppose to have. Especially with advanced intelligence that suggested there was a high probablility of highjacking attempts in the coming months. If you think this is the way they operate, then God forbid anyone ever attacks us. They way these clowns do their jobs we'll be lucky to get anything in the air before its all over.
