REFLECTOR:Velocity busts Presidential TFR

[Dennis Martin]

Dave,
Good advice.  It's no fun being a target.  I will insist on a written 
apology or statement - I want my name vaporized from this particular 
FAA database.  I've also speculated on how they identified it as  a 
Velocity, and why no pursuit took place.  I  think I'll take Kurt's 
advice and phone them first just to see what's going on.
Best,
Dennis Martin
