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.

Resubmit your form and state that your intentions for the flight inside your home is for the purposes of safety and security of the event because your 8 year old daughter has a real aversion to the guest team that will be playing at the stadium and you fear that she may throw a temper tantrum and leave the house and go to the stadium and call the team members, "big stupid-heads."
Therefore, in such an event, you will be able to alert the FAA and the Dept. of Homeland Security well in advance of her possible "attack."
PS.
It's funny that the Director's name is Hatfield. Reminds me of the old scenario of the redneck/hillbilly idiot families of the Hatfield's and McCoy's. Is this guy a descendant of that family? It sure seems so. He shows a real disdain for people and society.
And what a waste of our government dollars!!!! I hope that letter goes viral on the internet.
I wonder what the F.D. stands for. I can come up with a few guesses, but most of them couldn't be printed here.
