You have to protect high priority targets, and government leaders are always high priority. I think we agree about security measures in general, we just disagree on whether it's reasonable to restrict airspace above high priority targets. If I were the secret service, I would be extremely nervous about Cessnas droning overhead knowing any one of them could be loaded with explosives, shoulder-launched missiles, or even a small nuke. They would have only seconds to decide if it's a threat and react to it, so every single plane overhead would have to be watched intently on a 24/7 basis. I'd say that scenario would eventually lead to some poor bastard getting his ass blown out of the sky by a nervous SS agent with a Stinger.
