Which is why POTUS always has a TFR, he's number 4 but is
the only traffic in his area, which makes him number one.

No emergency turn arounds, but I did see that it takes some
time. Just how long it would take would depend on the
location and number of aircraft. The FAA could run this in
their simulator at OKC academy or probably at DFW, but for
now, I am ...
happy it all worked out;
enjoying the discussion;
waiting for a DFW controller to join in.
