(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.)
