APCH CTLR AT ZID ALLOWED AN E110 ACFT TO ENTER A RESTR AREA THAT WAS IN HOT STATUS.

Narrative

R3401A WAS HOT AT 10000 FT (NONSTANDARD ACTIVITY -- R3401 IS NEVER HOT AT THAT TIME OF NIGHT). THE E110 WAS ON AN IFR FLT PLAN YIP; VFR AT 4000 FT. ZID ADVISED R3401 WAS HOT AT OR BELOW 10000 FT. THE ACFT PENETRATED R3401A. THE FACTS ARE NOT IN DISPUTE. I; AS THE CTLR; AGREE IT HAPPENED. ALTHOUGH I CHKED ALL PERTINENT STATUS INFO AREAS BEFORE TAKING THE POS; I IGNORED THE DATA IN THE STATUS INFO AREA INDICATING R3401A WOULD BE HOT BECAUSE: 1) R3401A IS NEVER HOT AT THAT TIME OF NIGHT -- IF HOT ON EVENINGS; ONLY AT LOW ALTS. 2) MESSAGES DISTRIBUTED BY ARTCC'S HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY ENCRYPTIC IN THEIR MEANINGS. INSTEAD OF STICKING WITH STANDARD DATA (IE; A HOT 240 UNTIL XA00 THEN COLD UNTIL XM00); MESSAGES DURING THE PAST 3 MONTHS HAVE BEEN (A-240 THEN COLD UNTIL FURTHER ADVISED). HARD TO UNDERSTAND; REQUIRING TIME CONSUMING PHONE CALLS TO PEOPLE WHOSE ATTITUDES SHOW DURING THE CALL (IE; 'WHAT A STUPID QUESTION!'). ADDITIONALLY; ZID INDICATED THEY WERE TRYING TO CALL BEFORE THE ACFT ENTERED THE RANGE. ZID DID NOT CALL. IF THEY MEANT THAT THE RANGE OFFICER IN R3401A WAS TRYING TO CALL; THIS IS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER; THE FAA HAS REMOVED THE DIRECT LINE TO ZID. IN MY OPINION; THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR IN THE ERROR.
