taxpayers pay for restricted airspace over Cheney's PRIVATE home

It is one thing to have our taxpayers hard earned cash used to fund air patrol over the Naval Observatory in DC but over his PRIVATE home in St Michaels, MD. We'll all be wanted restricted airspace over OUR homes?

Thanks :)

.....Cheney's new home is on the Chesapeake Bay in St. Michaels, Md., about 30 miles east of Washington. The restricted airspace has a radius of one nautical mile and was established Nov. 22.

The vice president's official residence is on the grounds of the Naval Observatory in Northwest Washington, part of the region covered by airspace restrictions that were put in place after the Sept. 11 attacks.

FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the St. Michaels' restriction is classified as temporary, though she acknowledged there is no date for it to be lifted.

Airspace restrictions are an inconvenience for private pilots. If they stray into restricted space, they could have their pilot's license taken away, be escorted away by fighter jets or, in a worst-case scenario, be shot down.

.
Of course the air space above and around any vice president's residence, public or private, should be RESTRICTED AIR SPACE as should the president's residence, Whitehouse or otherwise.

isn't one enough?

One in Texas. One in Wyoming. One in Maryland. Probably more...

what is the issue is the safety of the vice president, period. That goes as well to the president. Politics is not at issue here nor should it be.
