In an emergency, there is no violation of the TFR. The PIC has the

I wouldn't bet my skin, tin, or ticket on that one.
The fact you are in distress isn't going to keep the guys in the
black helicopters or F-16's from trying to intercept you.
The FAA's track record on emergency authority isn't as iron clad
as you would like. The FAA has decided that if you get into the
emergency by your own screw up then they will still blast you for
the resulting deviations.
