Default It's Official - FAA Denies Indoor flight request

My house sits 2.6NM from an NCAA Division 1 football stadium. I decided to probe the lunacy of the NTSB ruling & FDC 4/3621, the NOTAM that establishes Temporary Flight Restrictions around NCAA Div 1 events (and a host of others). So yesterday I used the FAA process to request a waiver to the TFR for a micro-helicopter flight -- INSIDE MY OWN HOUSE. Today the FAA denied that request.

It would appear that the AMA's efforts have had little measurable effect, as the FAA is willing to go on record denying model aircraft flights inside private homes if those homes sit inside a TFR.

My request and their response are attached.
