CA Did Not Cave To Standard Bush Security Demands

Thanks in large measure to LtGov (Democrat) John Garamendi’s pounding
on the issue, agreement was reached with Secret Service etc to let
Bush have his meaningless photo op so long as all the firefighting
effort continued uninterrupted.

From FAA flight restriction notification: [Warning! Site triggered a
“Certification Error” caution flag but I opened it and am still OK,
your consequence may vary.]

“7/1542 - PART 2 OF 6 CA.. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS, SAN DIEGO….”
“A. ALL AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS WITHIN A 10 NMR AREA LISTED ABOVE ARE
PROHIBITED EXCEPT FOR: 1. ALL EMERGENCY/LIFE SAVING FLIGHT
(MEDICAL/LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIREFIGHTING) OPERATIONS DIRECTLY SUPPORTING
THE CURRENT FIRE EMERGENCY, APPROVED LAW ENFORCEMENT, MILITARY
AIRCRAFT DIRECTLY SUPPORTING THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE (USSS)
AND THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, APPROVED
EMERGENCY MEDICAL FLIGHTS,”

All approved flights are required to maintain continuous voice contact
or squawking their beacon but that would be a requirement in such a
crowded environment anyway. Bush gets his moment but without any
negative impact, what a nice change of pace!

All Presidential TFRs have standard language like that allowing law
enforcement, emergency, and firefighting aircraft into the TFR.
California had nothing to do with it. Garamendis is taking credit for
doing nothing.

Then why was all the aerial rescue work stopped within the TFR when he
ingratiated himself to New Orleans, or was the wording something that
changed after all the criticism?

However, dozens of firefighters were pulled off the lines to stand
behind Drunkya for his photo-op, many choose not to smile for the
cameras and were turned away chatting.

The phoney FEMA "news" conference was classic Cheney staging,
laughable...JG

I was in McCall, ID in the summer of 2000, when the airport and surrounding
airspace was shut down for several hours while Clinton did a forest fire
photo op. The tanker pilots had a few choice comments on the radio (for AF1
and Marine1) , while they circled outside the area.

It's not just a Bush thing. The problem is an executive branch that puts
their priorities above those that they are supposedly concerned about. No
one in McCall was fooled that summer.

These VIP TFRs are typical of the ineffectiveness of the DHS.

If the appearance of Clinton or Bush at the scene of the fires were
able to actually effect some benefit in fighting the fires, these
self-promoting photo-ops might be excusable.

It makes one wonder what it would take for the FAA to exclude VIPs
from the Fire TFRs as well as pilots.

The problem is if the Prez just does a fly-by like he did right after New
Orleans flooded he took crap for not being there.

The problem is, that the TSA/DHS doesn't understand how their VIP TFRs
hamper emergency responders' efforts.

You wonder if they couldn't recognize the extraordinary circumstances and
keep the footprint to a minimum. Surely the President could override his
handlers and insist on it, recognizing the risk, but also recognizing the
political dividends.

Well, on this case, they DID recognize the circumstances and didn't stop the
airborne firefight efforts.

Has anyone gone back and read the actual notams? I just reviewed the one for Cincinnati for today and it specifically calls out firefighting flights as permitted inside the 10 mile ring, they just need to be co-ordinate with the USSS. I don't see where this is a problem.

Yes, but only after the state officials refused to let him come unless he
did. It should have been something Bush's people offered, particularly
following the complaints after his visit four days after Katrina.

And if you believe political web sites, here is a discussion about the
photo ops that were set up after Katrina:

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/bush_orleans_photos.html

I hope things will less orchestrated in California, but the contrived
news conference FEMA gave doesn't encourage me.

State officials really don't have the stroke to tell the President he can go
to California.

It's all about politics and public perception. While California couldn't
say the President couldn't come, if they wanted to undermine the president
when he made the visit, they could easily focus in on the effect of any
flight restrictions on addressing the disaster, and make it look like the
President is hindering things rather than helping.

AFAIK the aerial rescue work did not all stop. What makes you think it did?
