No-Fly Zone Ordered for Queen Hillary's Campaign Re-Re-Re-Launch: "This is highly unusual"
2015-06-14
Federal officials today took the rare step of creating a "no-fly zone" around the site of Hillary Clinton's campaign kickoff rally in New York City on Saturday.

The Federal Aviation Administration established the protective zone in the form of a so-called "Notice to Airmen" announcing that a section along Manhattan's East Side will be temporarily transformed into "national defense airspace."

The FAA website lists the reason as "Temporary flight restrictions for VIP Movement" and cites the federal law that the FAA employs to ban flights over events attended by the president, vice president or other key dignitaries.
Hillary Clinton currently is a private citizen, though in her mind she's always the most V of VIPs...
"The United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat," according to the notice.

#4  They had to keep the fact that only 30 people showed up for the rally secret. Pictures of the crowd from the air completely destroys the narrative and careful camera angles on the ground.
