enough with the TFR's already

i've had it folks. Cheney (Dick right?) is on a bus tour in PA so
everyone has to stop and bow? COME ON MAN! Stop the trucks, cars and
large tricycles too.

these TFRs are getting unsafe and frankly whenever the controllers are
dealing with it they're in a bad mood, unhelpful, and the airspace feels
like dictatorial territory.

ENOUGH!!!!!

Agreed. And I'm even more exasperated when TFRs go up for presidential
(and vice-presidential) wannabees.

No. The Kerry campaign hasn't requested any.

No it has not and Senator Kerry has asked that it not happen. All that has
occurred is the typical local traffic restriction at the airport for their
arrival and departure. A very small area is affected and for only a short
period of time but it is not a TFR.

Really? Can you document that? I have only seen it reported that the Kerry
campaign has not asked for TFRs. That's subtly (but importantly) different
from specifically asking that they don't occur.

Agreed, it's crazy.

Kontiki - shown some proof or are you playing off that bonehead thread
about waiting in the terminal for Senator Edwards to depart.

As far as I know there haven't been. I even confirmed with flight
service that there aren't any.

Do you have a reference for that?

"On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of pilots who rely on predictable
access to airspace for their flight activities, I want to personally thank
you for your common-sense approach to security in not requesting airspace
restrictions for your campaign travels," AOPA President Phil Boyer wrote in
an August 2 letter to Kerry."
