Not sure how much of an airshow you can have if nobody is allowed to
fly.

So what, you don't go to airshows and you don't fly.

Nevertheless, if we live in a society where F-16s escort antique airplanes
just because the President is flying through, we've gone astray.

I refuse to live in fear. If we live in a country where Air Force One
requires escorts to keep away Stinsons or Jennies, we might as well take
down the flag and set it on fire 'cause we've lost our courage as a nation.

However, it's pretty clear that the antique pilots should have checked with
the FAA for TFRs since that's pretty much what everybody has to do.
