Default Kennedy gets his own TFR

I agree. Like him or not, (and I can't stand the guy believe me ) his
"position" in the government warrants protection. It's a sad
testimony to aviation if some of those who fly can't make this simple
distinction. We live in difficult times. When and if we reach the
point where both sides of a political equation start wishing each
other harm and deride a Senator's (ANY Senator's) right to personal
protection, we have reached a point fraught with danger for the
country.


There are 100 senators and 435 representatives in the United States
Congress. If all of them are accorded similar TFRs, these TFRs
together would cover an area about half the size of Louisiana (just
over 20,000 square miles). Is that really what you want?

Why are there no restrictions on road vehicles within a 3-nm radius?
And what about boats?


You're an idiot.
