On the return trip I was told that the effective time of the TFR had been
extended "for at least an hour." So much for those pilots who probably got
briefings, but expected that the TFR would be closed by the time they got
there. No doubt there were dozens of aircraft caught by that little stunt.


The lack of communication is ridiculous, but then there cannot be effective
communication given that these conditions are changed - literally - at whim
of one politician.

I was caught outside of a Bush TFR when that shouldn't have happened. I was
flying out of TEB, which was right beyond the edge (no doubt deliberately
to avoid annoying the corporate traffic which flies out of there). On my
way back, I was getting advisories. I was told by ATC that TEB was closed
now due to the Bush TFR.

I landed at Stewart, and made some phone calls. Neither the FBO at TEB nor
the tower at TEB knew that they were closed!

Unbelievable.
