NOTAM

I wonder how many modelers even know that NOTAMS even exist?

That's a good question. If you recall the recent conversation about the TFR
that existed while Bush was here in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, he was
staying not even a mile from one of the most popular RC airfields around
here, and just a few miles from a second one.

There's a possibility they actually closed the closest; certainly I'd be
curious to learn whether they did or not. I think it's a pretty good bet it
didn't even occur to anyone to shut down the next closest one.

Of course, RC flyers exercise their rights at other than official airfields
too. I doubt there was any enforcement of those folks.

I am, of course, assuming that prohibition similar to that which you quoted
is just standard for any Presidential TFR. I don't know if that's true or
not though. If not, the language in the convention's TFR seems unwarranted
though.
