When do politicians rate a TFR?

Remember the kid who flew the 172 into a building in Florida, just after
9/11.

Besides killing himself, I think he messed up somebody's desk.

For the groups trying to defend general aviation from more
stringent regulations, these and similar actions can be explained
to some degree by citing that the typical general aviation
airplane cannot carry a load large enough to be a danger. But a
Cessna Citation — that's a different story. With a useful load of
more than 7,000 pounds, that size airplane can't be explained away
so easily. ...

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information on precisely
whom is eligible for a TFR. Is this a rule that's written down
anywhere?

TFR's are established when a politician is present who, as a matter of
principle, we prefer not be attacked, but there is reason to believe
someone might find it worthwhile to do so.

Sometimes I suspect we would better let nature take its course, but
then I have my coffee and regain my faith in the democratic process.
