Default NY VFR corridor TFR - how does this help?

So now fixed-wing aircraft must be "UNLESS AUTHORIZED AND BEING CONTROLLED
BY ATC" in that particular corridor.

This helps how?


It doesn't.

Does anyone know which radar(s) has coverage of the area? If it is a typical
terminal radar, then ATC will be dealing with returns that are, on average,
at least 3.5 seconds old. How is ATC going to prevent anyone from getting into
a situation where they can't out turn or out climb obstacles?


It isn't.

This is just a political move.
