Let's face it, you can turn a 172 into a cruise
missile like device. It's not very likely and the solution to that
problem should not be to close the airspace all the time, but for a
special occasion like the SOTU where all the leadership of both parties
are in a single building, then it does make sense to try to make it as
secure as possible. GA is never going to convince the rest of the world
that we are being unfairly picked on unless we show that we can live with
reasonable restrictions and I don't think closing the airspace around DC
for 4 HOURs is unreasonable.


And just how do these TFRs make the airspace as secure as possible?
