Can't tell ya the number of times some TFR has popped up in the middle of nowhere out here in the vast desert wastelands. Like I'm gonna call FSS every time I want to hop in and go for a quick ride from dirt to dirt... They are all over the place now.

And with the VIP stuff, most of the presidential TFR's I've seen out here the XM will show the ring about 24 hours in advance. Lots and lots of head's up time.
