Default When do politicians rate a TFR?

Well, IMO, I think the 30 NM TFR is a joke. If someone REALLY wanted
to do damage to a building/person/event, 30 miles isn't going to keep
a jet traveling at 6.5 miles per minute at bay for long. Now, my
C172...ok...they've got 15 minutes to shoot me down before my plane
bounces off the wall and kills no one but me


There are plenty of missiles that can fly that distance in 30 seconds
or so, and they don't need to be fired from an aircraft. Currently
there is no really effective defense against missile attacks for
aircraft, which is a constant source of stress for a lot of people.
Apparently they believe that if they don't talk about it, it won't
happen.


Yes, there is, so you're wrong yet again
