(Editor's Note: In a move likely intended
as a "friendly reminder" to pilots, on January 11 the FAA reissued
several TFRs pursuant to national security airspace procedures
across the United States. Please review... if this prevents just
one pilot from violating the ADIZ, or busting another TFR
elsewhere, then it's worth it.)
