Absolutely.

If good taste won't keep people away, this minor inconvenience to
pilots is fine. Although, given the tastelessness of many who would
get close, the zone should be defined as anything within range of say
a 50 caliber round.

I agree. Like him or not, (and I can't stand the guy believe me ) his
"position" in the government warrants protection. It's a sad testimony
to aviation if some of those who fly can't make this simple distinction.
We live in difficult times. When and if we reach the point where both
sides of a political equation start wishing each other harm and deride a
Senator's (ANY Senator's) right to personal protection, we have reached
a point fraught with danger for the country.

What I don't see is why some people think he merits airspace
restictions. Is it at likely that a threat to him will be made from
the air? Is he going to have a coastguard escort too? What about other
senators then? To be honest, I think its self promoting
grandstanding..

Cheers

You are assuming it is a TSR he requested. It's possible the FAA,
knowing how stupid some people are, did it on their own. If he wanted
printer's ink he would not have requested the restriction.

There are 100 senators and 435 representatives in the United States Congress.
If all of them are accorded similar TFRs, these TFRs together would cover an
area about half the size of Louisiana (just over 20,000 square miles). Is
that really what you want?

Why are there no restrictions on road vehicles within a 3-nm radius? And what
about boats?

Of course, and at it's best when civil and respectful :-)
It's a shame that some others here don't appreciate that.

Here speaks a man (?) who makes interesting assumptions and
extensions, then posts something as idiotic as this.

Can't speak to the specifics of this decision. Don't know why it was
made. If you question it, that is of course your right. Asking questions
of me won't fill in any answers for you.
