Around the world there are a number of places marked "prohibited airspace". If you fly into them, for any reason, expect a world of trouble. You have several in the United States. In India, a commercial airliner accidentally flew into one and even though it was simply a mistake and corrected the moment it was advised, the pilot was detained for three days for questioning. Korean Airlines Flight 007 was shot down by the Soviets, killing 269 people. So yes, if you go where governments tell you you are not allowed, expect them to use force. As Jared said, these activists should count themselves lucky they were not killed. Remember, this boat didn't wander in by accident and turn around when told to. It was actively trying to run a military blockade.
