Default TFR Bust = Criminal Record For Pilots?

"LD" == Larry Dighera writes:

So a pilot who simply fails to get a briefing--something hundreds or
thousands of pilots do every day--"may deserve criminal prosecution".

LD criminal charges against a pilot whose
LD inadvertent violation of a TFR results in no harm nor hazard
LD to persons nor property seems inappropriate to me.

Oh, you think? And how does one inadvertently violate a TFR if they
have gotten a briefing?

This administration is out of control. Of course we knew that a long
time ago. If the killing of hundreds of thousands in an illegimate war
was not enough to warn us, criminalizing common flying habits might be
the clue some need.
