Notam Mania Flight restrictions test the ability of the FAA to dispense information and for pilots to get it. Some strategies for staying clear of TFRs
After landing at Camden County Airport in Berlin, N.J., the pilot was surrounded by 30 police officers, all with guns drawn. He got out of his airplane and was told to lay face down on the pavement. He was hauled away in handcuffs. His crime: He failed to learn of a TFR that had been established less than 12 hours earlier. Two military helicopters were dispatched. An F-16 was scrambled.

He was questioned by police and Secret Service then sent on his way back to Ohio in his Cessna 172.
