There's a TFR today over DC for the State of the Union address.
I don't understand why when there's been a massive one in
place for the past 4 years.

While I don't agree in the need for the ADIZ, I think in this case it's
more justified then normal. The entire leadership of our country ( Both
sides )is in one building for the sotu and it's a good idea to ratchet up
security for that event. It's only 4 hours and if it were not for the
ADIZ I don't think anyone would complain about it. While the risk of a
light plane actually doing any damage is small, let's face it, you could
load 500 pounds or so of high explosive into a 172 and that would make a
fairly big hole in the capital building. I think that preventing that
kind of attack should start way before the plane gets in the air, but for
a short amount of time closing the airspace does make sense. The security
on commercial aircraft now makes the possibility of another 911 attack
remote but that level of screening and airmarshalls just does not exist
for GA. Let's not over react to reasonable measures just because they are
over shadowed by un reasonable ones.


Airline security.....you must be living in a dream world. There is no such
thing as airline security. Lotsa window dressing but no real security.
