So is the actual purpose of that big area explained, or does it just
say that it's a (mysterious) restriction?


It IS a "mysterious" restriction. It is a direct result of political
paranoia. We have many politicos who think that some guy out tooling around
in his Cessna 150 is going to decide to go out in a burst of glory and fly
his little Cessna into said politicos backside.

It is interesting. We have car bombs, roadside bombs, truck bombs, and
other homemade of purchased bombs going off every day around the world.
Nowhere have I ever heard of a Cessna 150 bomb!

Our congress has cars and trucks blasing by the building all day and all
night of all sizes, none of which have passed through any kind of security
screening and any of which could be a massive bomb. The congress critturs
ignore all that.
Then some poor idiot in a Cessna 150 doesn't read the news or check the
charts or call flight service before takeoff and wanders around over
Washington, DC and they all panic and evacuate congress.

Think about that. These are the people who are running our country!
