Let's hope others in power oppose Bush's TFRs:

CA Did Not Cave To Standard Bush Security Demands
Thanks in large measure to LtGov (Democrat) John Garamendi’s pounding
on the issue, agreement was reached with Secret Service etc to let
Bush have his meaningless photo op so long as all the firefighting
effort continued uninterrupted.
From FAA flight restriction notification: [Warning! Site triggered a
“Certification Error” caution flag but I opened it and am still OK,
your consequence may vary.]
“7/1542 - PART 2 OF 6 CA.. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS, SAN DIEGO….”
“A. ALL AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS WITHIN A 10 NMR AREA LISTED ABOVE ARE
PROHIBITED EXCEPT FOR: 1. ALL EMERGENCY/LIFE SAVING FLIGHT
(MEDICAL/LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIREFIGHTING) OPERATIONS DIRECTLY SUPPORTING
THE CURRENT FIRE EMERGENCY, APPROVED LAW ENFORCEMENT, MILITARY
AIRCRAFT DIRECTLY SUPPORTING THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE (USSS)
AND THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, APPROVED
EMERGENCY MEDICAL FLIGHTS,”
All approved flights are required to maintain continuous voice contact
or squawking their beacon but that would be a requirement in such a
crowded environment anyway. Bush gets his moment but without any
negative impact, what a nice change of pace!
