Are you saying NACO does not have the authority to depict the
DC ADIZ on the sectional charts or to include the NOTAMs in the
AF/D?

No, the NACO rep said (as Ron said) "We can't chart temporary airspace."
The next logical question posed was "when will this temporary airspace go
away". The answer, of course, is "we don't know, but we don't expect it to
disappear any time soon."

If NACO does not have the authority, who does?

NACO makes the charts. The FAA makes the airspace. Right now, at least,
the various security agencies are telling the FAA to make this airspace.
The FAA claims to be on our side which is why it's only a "temporary"
airspace change.

Are you saying the security agencies are preventing NACO from
depicting the ADIZ on the charts?

No, bureaucratic rules are preventing them from charting the ADIZ. The
security agencies are forcing the FAA to accommodate their demands for
restricted airspace. That's the role we're being told they're playing. We
were told stories about some of the changes that were demanded by these SA's
that clearly indicated they had no idea how the aviation system works.

At least Potomac Approach controllers appear to be seriously trying to make
our GA lives as easy as possible while they and we are getting squeezed by
these arbitrary rules.
