Feds Create ‘No-Fly Zone’ For Hillary Clinton Campaign Event
Daily Caller ^ | 6/13/15 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 06/14/2015 11:19:07 AM PDT by markomalley

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) established a “no-fly zone” for commercial airplanes around the site of Hillary Clinton’s campaign launch Saturday on New York City’s Roosevelt Island.

The FAA’s “Temporary flight restrictions for VIP Movement” notice made clear that people in planes trespassing over Hillary’s event could get shot down.

“The United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat,” the notice said.

Though Clinton is not the president, and thus should not normally warrant this kind of federal privilege, her husband, former president Bill Clinton, was also at the event. It is unclear if there will be more no-fly zones around Hillary campaign events in the future.

Some New York City officials were reportedly upset about the no-fly zone, on behalf of tourist helicopters.

This is specifically done to avoid banner tow aircraft from flying by with the word BENGHAZI on it...nothing less. Her royal snotnose has ALWAYS acted to keep those pesky peasants away from her inglorious self.

The way her campaign’s going, a “no-chance zone” might be more appropriate.

Feds Create ‘No-Fly Zone’ For Hillary Clinton Campaign Event

Let’s be clear, this is not about “security”.

Manhattan has been a no-fly zone for non-emergency helos since before 9/11.

This IS about keeping the news choppers from getting an aerial view of the lukewarm attendance for her re-re-re-relaunch.

Are no-fly zones created for all candidates?
