King 5 (the local NBC affiliate) ran a news story about how the TFR
was costing Kenmore $75,000 in revenue. So I guess when NBC isn't trashing
GA for lax security, they sometimes can be persuaded to actually show some
of the effects of too much security. It isn't just aviation, either. Towne
Center (a large, upscale shopping mall) was closed because it is too close
to where Bush was staying, no doubt costing the merchants there a large
fortune.

Not just NBC, either. Yahoo news (usuallyn the AP feed) carried a story that the D.C.
mayor and council are increasingly upset at the damage the Federal security is doing
to the local business. They didn't mention the aviation situation, of course.

Maybe this is the next big media craze? Beats picking on GA, that's for sure.
