Another Intercept, but this time it's different

I have seen no such warnings. There have been warnings not to loiter
over nuclear facilities and open air assemblies, but I'm not aware of
any warnings against loitering outside Restricted airspace.

Here's an example --
1/3352 ...SPECIAL NOTICE... FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE, PURSUANT TO 14 CFR 99.7, SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS,
OPERATIONS WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL AIRSPACE OF THE U.S. THIS IS A RESTATEMENT OF
A PREVIOUS ADVISORY. PILOTS ARE ADVISED TO AVOID THE AIRSPACE ABOVE, OR IN
PROXIMITY TO, SITES SUCH AS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, POWER PLANTS, DAMS,
REFINERIES, INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXES, MILITARY FACILITIES AND OTHER SIMILAR
FACILITIES. PILOT SHOULD NOT CIRCLE AS TO LOITER IN THE VICINITY OF SUCH
FACILITIES. WIE UNTIL UFN

Note the phrase "military facilities."

and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

Thank you for the information, George. I guess I overlooked 'military
facilities' in those NOTAMS.

Keep in mind that the NOTAM doesn't prohibited loitering. If it did, it
would read "may not" instead of "should not". Furthermore, the NOTAM
doesn't say anything about the consequences of such loitering, never mind
that an interception will occur.

It may be a reasonable assumption, but the FAA is hardly clear about it.

Why? We've been repeatedly warned that loitering around sites like this
will
result in interceptions.

Loitering like that on the ground, in several locations, can get you shot!

Where I'm from, it's because she smells like a new saddle.
