Presidential TFRs -- AUGH!

I think the President *could* do something. He could go to the head of
the Secret Service and say "lift the ADIZ and reduce the number of TFRs or
you're fired". If that he resists, he fires him, and goes to the next in
the command chain. At some point, the Secret Service "management" would
do it. But that would assume the President had balls.

I doubt it's so much a matter of "balls" as it is the inevitable
concomitant of the Secret Service's dedication to protecting the
"office". Pretty quickly the "office-holder" begins to think the same way.

Whether that's ego, or a something like a sense of noblesse oblige, I
couldn't say.

Well, since noblesse oblige is an obligation of the nobility to consider the problems
of the less fortunate, it isn't that. Perhaps it's a sense of privilege?
