Is it just arbitrary, or an absurd "mine is bigger than yours" thing?

I think it's the latter. The prez is arguably more important than the second
fiddle, so he gets a bigger TFR.

So the TSA's presidential and vice presidential airspace grabs made in
the name of security are truly based on ego and public perception not
legitimate, rational, physical and scientific grounds? Where is this
country heading? :-(

Perhaps this is a good question to pose to AOPA.

Maybe, but *don't*, for bog's sake, pose the question to the SS. They'll start
setting up 30 mile TFRs for every politico down to dog-catchers.

If what you assert is indeed the correct rationale behind the
differing sizes of the presidential TFRs, anything is possible I
suppose. Perhaps informing the news media of this (likely) ridiculous
misconduct of the TSA would bring their hubris to light, and provoke
an indignant reaction in the general public. We can hope.
