With the latest news over D.C where fighter mega scrambled to intercept a non responsive Cessna it got me trying to understand the limits of how the U.S military can operate on Home Soil. My understanding is typically domestic issues require the response of the National Guard but why is the USAF scrambled in the situation with the Jet? What are the restriction that prevent other military equipment being used in domestic situations

The Air Force scrambled fighters because the unknown plane was headed towards Washington DC, the US capital. They thought it *might be* an attack.
