Airspace closing early

There's obviously been 'intel' received about threats to LV over the
holidays. I think the intel was originally regarding threats to NY, LA, and
LV. Must be something more specific about LV spurring this - I remember Tom
Ridge saying that when specific threats are recieved, local authorities will
be specifically informed and action taken.

Henderson (HND) will be closing early on wednesday,

Why? Does this happen every year?

oooops ... sorry ... it happened in the USA, ya know: the land of the free.

According to the TV news, for whatever that is worth, the airspace is
being closed by the Governor or the Mayor (I forget which). Somebody
there taking lessons from Chicago?

Of course, that's TV news reporting and usually has no bearing on
fact.

public.

There are already standing TFRs limiting flight over outdoor events.. this
added restriction will be mostly within surface Class B airspace, but does
cover two satellite airports in the Valley.
