Temporary Flight Restriction - SuperBowl - Houston

[GAHorn]

And this has got to be the most silly TFR of all. I mean, if the president is at his ranch, all you have to do to fly within 10 miles of the place is be on a discrete transpoder code and talk to ATC. Why in the blazes are football fans the subject of more security than the president? Why can't aircraft talk to ATC and get a code assigned just like they can at the president's "ranchette"?
The permanent Temporary Flight Restriciton area at the biological weapons plant at Pine Bluff, AR only requires you to stay above 3,000 feet. Is football more important than that?

NAW! The TFR was failing, terrorists where within striking distance of harming 100,000 people, so they had performers trying to act and peform as if they were of a different ethnic background and that was still failing - so as the last means of defense they exposed the ultimate offensive weapon. The terrorists have not recovered yet from being boobed out of Houston. It is going to be dangerous times ahead for south Texas as the terrorists come up with their counter-boob attack, probably a double-boob flank attack starting around Lake Travis.
