With Barack Obama on vacation under a Presidential TFR at Martha's Vineyard this week, we've asked AVweb readers what they think of Temporary Flight Restrictions.
Not much, as it turns out. 60% of those who took time to answer last week's Question said TFRs provide little real security and should be eliminated. A tiny contingent on readers (only 13 of you) thought TFRs were a good compromise between security and freedom of flight.
