The FSS people don't seem to have a Yankees schedule, and don't have any
interest in getting one. Recently, when there were no other distractions
(you know, like visits from Dubya and UN Meetings), a briefer I spoke to
told me that and told me to check the schedule. Of course, I didn't have
one either, so I called my cousin who is a fan.

I thank the Lord every day that us little Cessnas and Pipers are
prohibited from flying within 3 NM of Yankee Stadium when there is a game
on. After all, if somebody hijacks a 747 and nosedives it into Yankee
stadium at 500KIAS, I'm sure they'll be able to scrounge up F-16s to
intercept it within the 20 seconds it wil take the 747 to fly the 3NM
through the TFR... And I don't want to be there when that happens!

These security measures against small single engine aircraft are so
outrageous. It's all about PR, trying to convince the public at large that
officials are "doing something" about terrorism. As somenone put it on one
of these newsgroups a few montths ago, when terrorists start using such
craft, we'll know we're safe, because they've run out of good ideas.
