I know it would be expensive, but maybe it's time to begin to shut down commercial flights into Reagan, transition to just government and military air space.
Dulles and Baltimore would need to be expanded, and maybe another airport in either Northern Virgina or Maryland. The metro now goes out directly to Dulles. It couldn't happen all at once, but that traffic around the Potomac is crazy and their is only ONE runway where heavies can land.
