[NSRCA-discussion] Fw: TFR Issued for Ann Arbor, MI - 5/1

[Bob Kane]

I guess what I am struggling with is using a mechanism design for full-scale aviation and thinking it will be effective for model aircraft.  What about the father-son (or mom or daughter) who goes out tomorrow morning to fly something they picked up at the toy store, and would not know the AMA from AAA or the AKC. At one extreme nothing will happen. At the other they will be treated as a terrorist threat.

Sorry for the rant.  This just seems so much like corporate management thinking.

Has anyone ever experienced one of these issued on a contest day?  How far in advance are they issued?
