Is that possible ? If it is, would be nice. And should happen as well
Uh... Shouldn't the LN/LNS do this regularly? Or at least guard the system instead of sitting by manhattan saying, "no...stop... dont go to zone 21..."

they should, but they dont.
Anyways, despite the objections... the BHG RP in alaska is already established, from back in vanilla FL. It's not something you can just wish away - the LN/LSF have entrusted bounty hunters to that system in the past, and it isnt unreasonable to think that they may do so again.
It's hardly fair to say it's the fault of Navy/LSF indies for this. Actually, I quite often see them patrolling Zone 21. Unfortunately most of the people who go through Zone 21 are limited to saying 'wtf' and 'lol' and '//I'm allowed be here.'
The solution I see to it? Weapons platforms and a stationary battleship belonging to a new faction called 'Alaska Guard'. Alaska Guard would have no bribes, no missions and no allies or friends of any sort. It is neutral to the Navy and LSF, and the repninja makes everyone else hostile to it.
I don't think -any- group of players with characters dedicated to the stopping of people taking such an out-of-character route would have the patience for it, really. I certainly didn't, after my experiment with enforcing the trade embargo. And Alaska's even worse than folks flying past the Mississippi.

I managed to almost single-handedly stop all of the smugglers using that route during 4.84 with my order character, because they used to come through omicron 100. I'd kill dozens of transports a day.
It's probably my fault that liberty got too lazy to patrol it's own space, seeing as how I was already doing their job for them =P
