Default Odd TFR

There's a TFR today over DC for the State of the Union address.
I don't understand why when there's been a massive one in
place for the past 4 years.



It's only for GA aircraft, because as we all know, it's the GA aircraft that
are really the threat. Cause a hijacked airline flying to Reagan couldn't
divert over to Congress.

This is what happens when the FAA just pulls stuff out of their ass.

They have to give the apperance that they're doing something to improve
security, but they can't do something that would actually cause an uproar
from the airline industry.


Unfortunately, the appearance works. I work with people (and I work for
an airline!) who think that small aircraft are threats. They were
"relieved" to see a TFR tonight.
