It looks like the BLM has a shapefile for all of the TFRs but they only
share it with "BLM members who are logged in".

Anyone know of another source for this information? (I'd also like to
hear why they're restricting access to this.)

Thank you.

Did you dig up

?

I'm guessing the restriction is because BLM created the system to
allow its people to rapidly create firefighting TFRs. There may be a
liability issue associated with allowing people to access the
non-agency shapefiles -- loss of version control.
