Dear oh Dear :/

Ther TFR's (Temporary Flight Restrictions) here in America require us to avoid circling powerplants, oil fields, dams, bridges, football games or other densly populated places, and special events. Oh, and Crawford Texas too. (And we are relentlessly reminded everytime we call a flight briefer.)
The Area above Crawford Texas is whited out on VFR Sectional Charts, and we are required to go an extremely long way out of our way to avoid this area. It's quite irritating really, adds an hour to almost all flights that occur in the area. We also have to be familiar with intercept proceedures, for when they threaten to shoot us down.
It's a sad day when the government can tell you where and where not to fly, in an otherwise unrestricted industry such as aviation.
It's Nazi Germany all over again, folks.
Hooray for white supremecists with toothbrush facial hair.
