FAA: 157 airspace violations since 9/11

Considering how restrictions pop up without warning, I'm not surpised:

WASHINGTON (CNN) --Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,
and despite heightened security, 157 planes have violated airspace
over presidential residences, CNN has learned.

I know this isn't what many of you want to hear, but dang it, it's got to be
said: This sloppy aviating has GOT to stop.

Either WE, as pilots, figure this problem out, or THEY, as the government,
will "figure it out" for us. The Feds are not going to let these
violations continue forever -- if for no other reason than the general
public won't stand for it.

And THAT will mean an end to the freedom of the skies we have so long
enjoyed.

Note that these violations did NOT occur over the controversial "national
pop-up TFRs" we all know and hate. These happened over the President's
residences! It doesn't matter if it's a "pop-up" TFR -- call Flight Service
before every flight. If they tell you that there are NO TFRs along your
route of flight, and you get busted in one that *they* didn't know about,
I'll bet you the keys to the Mighty Grape you won't be violated.

Anyone who lives near the President's residences, and DOESN'T call flight
service before every flight, should have their certificate revoked for
stupidity.
