Nothing In, Garbage Out

frustratedpilotLast week, an annual antique aviation airshow for charity in Maryland had to be called off because the President was visiting Camp David, and that set a no-fly zone in the area that wound up snaring many of the participants--a good number of whom were flying aircraft that were not equipped with radios ('cause they were ANTIQUES).
Turns out the company that the FAA contracted with to get this information to the flying public bungled it.
Still, I believe that the Presidential Temporary Flight Restriction is a bad idea, as any terror group serious about wanting to know the whereabouts of the President for their nefarious purposes will be can simply watch for these notices and plan accordingly. That and the matter of the waste of resources in enforcing the no-fly zones, as well as the according disruption to legitimate air traffic.
I will vote for any Presidential candidate brave enough to abolish the Presidential TFRs.
