Default Sheriff's helicopter violated Daytona TFR

Seems that a sheriff's helicopter pilot didn't get the word, and
didn't have the right sqwalk or something.

Here's the article: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/02/17/Pa..._sets_of.shtml

What I find interesting is the quote from an FAA spokesman:

' "We make every effort to educate pilots that they are in place, but
sometimes pilots are not aware of them," said Kathleen Bergen,
spokeswoman for the southern region of the FAA.

The agency will investigate as a matter of course, but "virtually
every alleged violation has been unintentional," Bergen said. '

If "virtually every alleged violation is unintentional", that's
spending a lot of money for not much result. Seems like the effort's
misdirected.
