Default What the heck? Greenbrier TFR?

So it looks like they have slapped a TFR over the Greenbrier resort in West
Virginia for the entire freakin' weekend. And this time, it's not even for
the president, or vice president, or even anyone in the executive branch.
From what I can gather, all that is happening is that a couple of congress
members are having a "policy weekend" (which, if we can be honest here,
really translates to a "golf outing").

I got this in an e-mail from AOPA today: "AOPA is amazed that members of
Congress require temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) for a visit to The
Greenbrier resort for a policy weekend," said AOPA President Phil Boyer.
"Never before have such visits to a spa required this high a level of
security."

Well, AOPA is not the only one that's amazed. Unless I am mis-reading the
NOTAM, it looks like they have totally locked down the entire Greenbrier
valley airport for the entire weekend. And it's actually supposed to be
nice weather in these parts for a change.

First it was for the President and the Vice President. Now it's congress
members. Pretty soon it will be Supreme Court justices. And then I guess
getting TFRs issues will become the new beltway-insider status symbol for
the Washington set. Is it just me, or is the TFR slope beginning to get a
bit slippery?
