nor does it specify that aircraft arriving at or departing from an airport
has to be under ATC control. All it says is that traffic has to be

arriving
at or departing from the airport in order to go through the TFR. There are
no other requirements -- no flight plan, no ATC control, no commercial
requirement, nothing.


I have truncated the first portion of a stadium notam below for your
benefit, but I have left the second section intact. In that section I see
an exemption for aircraft authorized by ATC using standard procedures but,
nowhere do I see anything about operations at an uncontrolled airport or
without ATC authorization.

This is the TSA and Homeland Security we're talking about, there is no
quarter given and even something in writing is meaningless... They have
ultimate power under the auspices of national security; any gurantee from
them only illustrates the naivete of the recipient.

If the stadium is allowed to exist without a fight, we have no recourse in
the future.

I've heard several stories on what goes on at Boeing Field, but that is
irrelevant, once the stadium exists we are at the mercy of "national
security", a pandoras box that can never be closed.
