If a VIP TFR says "AIRCRAFT FLIGHT OPERATIONS ARE PROHIBITED WITHIN THE

THE DOMESTIC EVENTS NETWORK (DEN)", does an IFR clearance thru the TFR
qualifies as "authorized by ATC"?

Normally as they have it listed even VFR into and out of the airport
is probably permitted. As I recall you just need to make sure they
give you permission to enter the TFR unlike those big ones with the 10
mile no fly zone.

In this particular case, I'm referring to TFR
http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html#6/5316 that covers the PAE
airport. As my luck turns out, I might have to land there right during
the time when TFR is active this Sunday.
