Good idea.

This is at the height of rush hour.

From article:

"People with ticketed train or game tickets will be allowed to enter the area on foot. So too will people who have appointments with businesses, the NYPD said. It's not clear how law enforcement plans to verify the latter."

And train passes? Most commuters use those. And last time I took commuter rail, it did not have tickets for specific trains like Amtrak does. LIRR and NJT both use Penn station as their NYC gateway. Not to mention all the subway lines that stop there.

And that air space is closed for hours when AF1 is nearby.
