John,
My unbridled hyperbole was actually made completely in jest.

To my knowledge (which is perhaps more bridled than my hyperbolic sense
of humor) there is no moving TFR that follows AF1... The TFR that I
posted was not real, it was a joke.

The point is not that half the country's airspace is shut down. The
point is that the whole TFR thing is a joke. The only people who
intentionally follow laws like the TFRs are law-abiding citizens. A
terrorist wouldn't be very upset about violating a TFR, unless, of
course, an F-16 actually had a shot in hell of intercepting him before
achieving the mission.

Judah, using unbridled hyperbole to try to make a point rarely enhances
a discussion. AF1 movement TFRs do NOT shut down "...the entire
southern half of the US...", as you twice posited. As a general rule,
they proscribe a particular route, but then only "...unless otherwise
authorized by ATC...". X miles before and after passage, other traffic
will be allowed to cross paths. You do, in fact, have a TFR that
follows the aircraft (as long as everything runs smoothly); a moving
bubble of airspace kept clear for the passage of AF1.
