Certain politicians do not attend the State of The Union Message for the very reason that if something were to happen there would still be small but functioning government. I once interviewed for a job in the financial world that had the same deal. Every employee was required to work from home one day a week, to ensure that there would be something left of the company should the office be attacked. It is also very common for companies to forbid more than N officers (or X% of any department) to fly on the same airline flight. |

and given the worst case scenario of all the likely candidates dying in
one attack, just where will you find the new leaders? What makes you think there is a shortage of wannabe politicians? |

It's not very likely and the solution to that problem should not be to close the airspace all the time, but for a special occasion like the SOTU where all the leadership of both parties are in a single building, then it does make sense to try to make it as secure as possible. GA is never going to convince the rest of the world that we are being unfairly picked on unless we show that we can live with reasonable restrictions and I don't think closing the airspace around DC for 4 HOURs is unreasonable. And just how do these TFRs make the airspace as secure as possible? |

And just how do these TFRs make the airspace as secure as possible? Simple, if you in the TFR then you are a threat and can be dealt with. How they choose to deal with the threat is another story. The current ADIZ is not at all secure, since anyone can call and file a ADIZ flight plan. The current method has all of the problems and none of the gains for controlling airspace. Except it make the general population feel better. |
