Default UAV's and TFR's along the Mexico boarder

Who cares whose fault it is? You're much more likely to be blindsided by one of
these things than by an aircraft piloted by someone who isn't suicidal.

Personally I think a NOTAM saying when/where the UAVs will be should be
enough for VFR pilots to avoid the thing. Why do we need a TFR?


Put out a NOTAM, and the people smugglers will be able to find out what areas
aren't being patrolled at the moment.
