Feds set no-go zones for President Barack Obama's Hawaii vacation
Politico: On Monday evening, the Federal Aviation Administration issued several flight restrictions for Hawaii from 8 P.M. Friday through midnight on Sunday January 6. The key air restriction surrounds Koko Head on the southeastern side of O'ahu, near where Obama has vacationed in the past.
And in a notice set to be published formally on Wednesday morning, the Coast Guard will announce a "temporary security zone" in the nearby waters of Kailua Bay—where Obama has rented vacation homes in past years. According to the notice, the Coast Guard security zone kicked in at 6 A.M. Monday, even though the president is still wrapped up in fiscal cliff negotiations with Congress and various other matters at the White House.
The water exclusion zone includes waters south of Kapoho Point and a nearby channel in Kailua Bay and runs "from the surface of the water to the ocean floor." (Attention still photogs: No scuba tricks and no submersibles.)
