And yea, you've got it lucky. We get all sorts of TFR's down in my neck
of the woods.. Remember, Bush Jr lives not too many air miles away, and
Bush senior lives across town, but all the dignitaries fly into EFD, one
of the places I fly out of. I dont forsee too many democratic
appearances here.. Texas is hardly considered a "swing state" but enough
of the other VIP's keeps things interesting.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but what was reasonable in your mind
was unreasonable in theirs (security staff). They wanted a sterile ramp
before, during and after "Mr Nobody Candidate's" departure and I doubt
there would have been anything you could have done except call more
attention to yourself. As for the VP being a nobody.. lets not kid
ourselves.. we all know Cheney is running things

The President has been at his ranch since the 18th. Rice, Rumstud and
Cheney have all been in to visit. Some ex-democrat senator was here to
visit too, but was turned away by the Secret Service. (They can provide a
useful service ). We all just file and fly, I like to have him around!
