Here in Michigan, a lot of pilots get caught by Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs). Anytime the president visits the Detroit area, a TFR is placed around the Pontiac airport, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country.

A local aviation attorney told me to always ask the briefer if any TFRs are in effect; the feds can't do much to you if you were taped getting bad information.
