Yes. It is happening in the land of the free, the brave and the keeper
of freedom in the whole world.
This doesn't make you think just a little bit? You are protecting the
government and not your people.

"Used to be" the "TFR" was 3000 and 3. 3000 AGL and 3 miles either
side of the motorcade. They even gave the routes/highways to avoid
between such and such times.



I'm just glad to hear it wasn't some solo student out boring holes in the
practice area. That would have been a very traumatic flight.

Might have been better as the student could legitimately claim
ignorance. Not the licensed pilot, even if the TFR popped up *after*
he was airborne.

Now days I even get a complete briefing on bright beautiful sunshiny
days. I also listen to ATIS from the nearest airport along my flight
path that has it .

The AOPA really raised a ruckus over the short lead time for the one
in Detroit this past week.
