So we all have to take our shoes off at the airport and all that crap, but when an airplane deviates from a flight plan and does not respond to ATC, everything is cool. Maybe they are just distracted or asleep. No need to contact NORAD.
That kind of incompetence is astonishing, and I'd say, more serious than a pilot becoming distracted and causing an inconvenience. Sure, a pilot's distraction can be deadly, but what the hell is wrong with the system if an airplane goes "missing" and nothing is done about it for over an hour?
