1 - TSRs _only_ impact law abiding people. Circles on a sectional will not stop someone out to kill themselves. True for small TFRs like the stadium TFRs. But not true for the ADIZ and larger TFRs (like 30NM Presidential ones). If a controller sees a 1200 squawk within 30NM of Washington, DC, what do you think happens next? Why do you believe that someone bent on harm would be dutifully activating their transponder and squawking 1200, flying a plane with a large primary radar footprint, or flying in a manner which would make them straightforward to intercept in less than 10 minutes? What "restrictions" could they possibly put in place to effectively prevent a "GA suicide bomber" anyway? How about metal detectors and airline-style security systems in all airports? Or Permanent Flight Restrictions in the areas that are now Temporary, or more ADIZ Zones preventing GA pilots from flying over populated areas without discrete transponder codes and two-way communication with ATC? These are examples of more restrictions which would impact only law abiding people without effectively deterring someone bent on harm. Cheers, Sydney |
