Editor's Note: The FAA can't seem to make up its mind on the latest TFR in place along the US-Mexico border. (The fact it is likely not so "temporary," however, seems to be certain.) This TFR supercedes the previous TFR, NOTAM FDC 6/0798, that was implemented Tuesday. We doubt this one will please the AOPA any more than the last one did.
