Geez, talking about making a mountain out of a molehill. Intl w/b crew descending into JFK over NJ -
ATC - "gentlemen, look at the front window. That is the sovereign state of New Jersey. The speed limit below 10,000' is 250 kts."
The guys look at each other for a second "huh???" and look at their speed. 320 KIAS, and moving nicely. "Oops, any problem?"
ATC - "nah. Welcome back."
