Feds: 12 planes violated Trump air space over weekend
At least 12 aircraft violated temporary flight restrictions through Monday afternoon for President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach Mar-a-Lago stay, with at least five of those having the unique experience of being buzzed by military aircraft, federal officials confirmed to The Palm Beach Post. Eight of those crossed the line on Friday alone, with three of those having what likely were unsettling encounters with F-15 jets and one with a military helicopter, according to the Federal Aviation… (www.palmbeachpost.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Do NOT forget the 19 pilots we trained in Florida. This was a "friendly" exchange with Saudi Arabia. The result of this training caused the 9-11 disaster. I am a U.S. Air Force veteran. I believe in a TIGHT control of air space any where the President goes.
I'm based at PBI, Trump's home airport. At Trumps request, we now have procedures that allow the vast majority of part 91 operators to fly. With the exception of LNA airport, which unfortunately remains closed during the TFR. (that needs to change, ASAP) . The procedures are easy enough to follow, but do impose additional burdens. The TSA is available at each PBI FBO. File in advance (24 hours required, but 4 seems to be sufficient) , Clear TSA screening, use the proper squawk and go fly the proper route, while remaining in contact with PBI. Arrivals need to clear TSA at a nearby gateway airport, file, squawk n talk properly before entering the TFR. For many of us, the additional burden can be boiled down to the gateway airport landing and TSA clearance.
I suggest the FAA relax some of the burdens in agreement with the right to free and unrestricted travel, upheld by SCOTUS in 5 major decisions.

Being from Canada, a true democracy, my first reaction was; who cares? If this dude would spend more time doing his job in Washington, then none of this would happen.
Glad I don't live in the area. What is bothering me is why we have to pay for security in NYC,DC and Palm Beach at the same time. There should be a limit on tax dollars for this nonsense per month. After they spend that amount they are responsible for the rest
The headline is completely disrespectful The airspace belongs to the secret service, possibly POTUS not to Trump by name. If this was an article about Obama or Clinton it would have said "President" or "POTUS" or even "secured"...not "Trump air space". The most acceptable headline would be "secured air space". It is as factual and neutral an one could be.
I do not appreciate the constant negativity and animosity presented toward this president. I think that colleges and universities must be teaching "propaganda methods for media majors" now instead of teaching how to be a news reporter. Even my HS news and reporting teacher would never have allowed such a headline. In fact just the repetition of phraseology of certain words would have sent this article back to someone's desk instead of publish.
All of that being said, it is time for the secret service to reconsider the methods of handling security and assure that security does not affect local persons and businesses negatively. Remember that the imposition of air restrictions is actually unconstitutional interference of a person's right to freely travel. There would be no difference if it was horseback travel 200 years ago, stopping passage is a violation of the Constitution. It would be good to see some balance in the white house security team for once. I am sure that some intelligent people may work there and could figure this out a little more rationally.

Wherein lies the headline's disrespect?
How would you, or your HS news teacher have worded the headline? Something like "12 aircraft violated Temporary Flight Restriction area centered on The Mara-Lago Club" would be too wordy. "Air Space" is probably more widely understood than TFR. That the restriction was due to the presence of Mr. Trump, being more recognizable than POTUS, and shorter than President, I think the name use is acceptable.
Has "the imposition of air restrictions is actually unconstitutional interference of a person's right to freely travel" been testing in the courts, or is is merely an opinion?

Nice try except 1 small detail you did not realize...Mar-a-lago is no longer a government owned property but is in fact owned by Trump...hence it is Trump airspace...had this been done pre-1980, then your comment would have indeed held merit since, at that time, it was an official government retreat and the secret service would have indeed owned it when certain members of government and/or their families was there.
