Default Mexico Border TFR No that bad

Of course the AOPA disagrees and I completely understand the slippery slope
but let's face it the little plane should have no problem flying under the
TFR and the big planes should have no problem flying over or under it.
Since it looks like we are going to have to deal with UAV in the future we
are going to have to do something and a altitude block tha is reasonable
seems like it might be the best idea.


FAA establishes 300 nm-long TFR on southern U.S. border

The FAA has established a "temporary" flight restriction (TFR) along the
U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona and New Mexico. The TFR is in effect from
12,000 to 14,000 feet and is active from 5 p.m. until 7 a.m. daily. What
makes it so ominous is its size and duration.

The 300 nm-long corridor, 17-nm wide in most places, is to prevent U.S.
Customs and Border Patrol unmanned surveillance aircraft (UAVs) from
colliding with other civilian aircraft.
