What happens if you're in it when it expands to encompass your current
location?

Could you be more specific? I missed which of these "violations" was
caused by growing the airspace to include an aircraft's current location.

To my knowledge there hasn't been an incident yet where someone got
busted by a TFR that came into being after they got their preflight
briefing but during their transit/before their landing. I suspect the
FAA will have an extremely hard time making that bust stick to
someone, especially if it is otherwise uncontrolled airspace. Oh, you
might get intercepted, and have to follow those procedures (you have
your handy interception procedure card, don't you?), but *IF* you
became familiar with all available preflight information and didn't do
something reckless, there's simply nothing they're going to be able to
stick you with.

In the case of the Kennebunkport area, it has been marked as to avoid
since before I took my first flying lesson at Hampton airfield, since
it's the summer home of Bush 41. It has been subject to TFRs since
shortly after 9/11. That's well over four years by now, and not once
in that time have we failed to have at least 48 hours' notice that a
TFR was going into effect.

Indeed, since Bush 43 generally lands at PSM Portsmouth, it's moot
anyhow, since the TFR for his landing shuts down Hampton airfield
anyhow. There was one instance during the 2004 campaign when he had
one of those ugly Moveable Feast TFRs because he came up from Boston
(wherever) in a motor caravan, but in that case I don't think he went
to Kennebunkport.
