I see mention on AOPA's page about a *TFR* for the UN and Presidential

Third sentence of that article - "An air defense identification zone (ADIZ) with
an inner flight restricted zone (FRZ) similar to the one over Washington, D.C.,
will be in effect September 14 to 16."

Effective dates, the word "similar" and the lack of "permanent" to me
doesn't make it really "like" DC.

It's no different than the TFRs set up for the conventions in BOS and
NY during the last election campaign, and I will not be surprised when
they set up the same TFRs around whatever city is unlucky enough to
get stuck with them next time around.

Annoying, yes. Pointless, yes. Lacking in ability to do anything
meaningful but making it seem like they are doing something, yes. Do
I agree with doing it? No. Should these things be imposed? No.

Maybe I read the original post wrong, but it seemed like the poster
was implying that there was going to be a new no-purpose permanent
ADIZ over NYC which would then continue to other places, just because.
That's clearly not the case here.
