Presidential TFR violations in Seattle?

It took me 40 minutes to get through to the FSS on the phone this morning. I
had a student at 8:00 am and then a charter at 11:00. Tacoma Narrows fell
within the 30 nm TFR. The briefer told me that nine planes had been forced
down in Redmond, OR, the previous day. The FSS confirmed for me that the TFR
did not start until 11:40, so I flew with the student. I then filed my VFR
flight plan to Prosser (which is just outside of the other Presidential TFR
for the day in Pasco -- apparently Air Force One and I would be passing each
other). The briefer told me to call again if I was going to be late
departing because he would need to modify my flight plan to a quasi-IFR
flight plan.

And all this hassle only for one person? Hm, I can't understand it and I
can't understand that you can live with that. Isn't the president nothing
more than your servant? Doing a job for _you_? Paid by you, the people?
