These non Presidential TFR's are issued under clauses in part 91, part 135 (I think). Let me repeat, despite what the FAA says part 91 does not apply to model aircraft. this is not my opinion but the opinion of an NTSB judge who said that there are no FAA regulations applicable to model aircraft. Now they will be sure to incluce model aircraft in future regs, and we need to watch what they say. Also I know for a fact that they have not fined people for flying kites in a TFR for example. But that could just be a matter of enforcement and not really proof of what they are doing.

When I think about that I would be bluffing if I were an FAA official, but short of actually issuing fines.
