TFRS: WHO ARE THEY REALLY STOPPING?
The FAA is looking at revising its enforcement policy for pilots
who bust TFRs and the Washington ADIZ. Agency officials told a
recent meeting of the GA Coalition that federal security agencies
are not in favor of a flexible system of enforcement that takes
mitigating factors into consideration. In fact, according to EAA's
account of the meeting, the Secret Service initially wanted
criminal charges laid against wayward pilots. Coalition Chairman
Tom Poberezny urged the FAA to adopt a uniform policy that allows
remedial action, counseling and even amnesty for pilots who
mistakenly enter restricted airspace. The meeting attendees were
told that almost 2,800 violations have been recorded so far, about
half of them in the Washington ADIZ and Camp David TFRs.

well.. until the Fed's cough up a printed "readable" chart ..

and the local Fed "information center".. primarily the Flight Service
Stations.. can read and understand the TFR and when it is active..

then.. I don't see how any prosecution could hold water..

I understand one thing for the "permanent" ADIZ / TFR (P-40)

but the pop up TFRs when the President travels.. is even harder to know..
especially when the time period is 0800-1600, but the speech goes long.. the
dinner goes long.. and the Prez does not leave until 1800, thus extending
the TFR.. but no way for the pilot that departed at 1500 from far off, into
the TFR area.. to know.

How much water does it really have to hold, under the Patriot Act?

Maybe it's time to get criminal prosecutions against some officials in
the SS.

All part of the George Bush Airport Police State, using the SS to do
it, in this case. 1000 arrested in the USA after 9/11, most held and
never charged, 600 interned in Guantanamo Bay (15 fewer than a month
ago (gee I wonder where those 15 went? slit?)). Hey, I want America
safe, but I also want it FREE. Bush, Cheney and Ashcroft, no American
Freedom safe from their police powers. Sorry to be political, if the
Dems were doing it I'd be hollering just as loud. Wake up America!

I'm afraid it's too late. The power is no longer with the people in this
country.

Do a google search on "9/11 Detainees", "Guantanamo Bay Detainees",
and "FISA Secret Court"
