The amazing thing is that none of these guys seem to understand that TFRs do
nothing to defeat terrorism unless we are ready, willing and able to shoot
down all violators. Unless we are willing to do that, TFRs are just a
nusance to the law abiding.

Its election year and, I guess that they have to have something to talk
about...more to come we can be certain.

Disturbing that all the sponsors of this amendment are Democrats,

including
our own Norm Dicks (whom I rather liked up until now). It appears that
rather than making an issue of Republican security hysteria that the

'crats
are trying instead to outdo them.

Like not understanding an issue has ever stopped them in the past?

Most laws only target the law abiding...the bunch you don't have to worry
about in the first place.

(Let's not get a gun control thread going..shall we?)

Actually, the bill is an excellent example of why the Washington ADIZ should
be changed to a prohibited area. We need to be protected from areas of
dangerous legislation. Pilots and other members of the productive population
cannot risk exposure to the brain-eating stupid waves radiating from such
places. Best just to wall the whole place off. I doubt if the mutated
inhabitants can be saved, anyway.

Finally, someone has stated the obvious. The bad news id that now the truth is
out inthe open, all flights will need a federal marshall on board .
