 AOPA or the like should help make examples of these pilots, in a big 
 public way.  "We won't tolerate ignorance among our own and suggest 
 immediate revocation of their flying privileges". 
 
 At first blush upon reading this I thought "How ridiculous!" 
 
 However, the more I consider it, the more I think John is onto 
 something here.  If we, the pilot community, don't do something to 
 make it apparent that these morons who keep busting the TFRs are NOT 
 representative of the rest of us, nor do they reflect the predominant 
 attitude of most pilots, nor do they reflect a general lack of 
 intelligence shared by other pilots, I fear that the federal 
 government is simply going to make the whole danged East Coast a 
 no-fly zone. 
 
Say, Jay... 
 
Weren't you one of those who in a previous thread suggested that we 
_relax_ the requirements for getting GA certificates?  ;-) 
 
Perhaps this pilot was just one of those on the low end of the current 
bell curve.
