This is the way it starts out, TFRs in the big city and slowly get bigger until they engulf the suburbs. Then next are the rural areas until the smaller states are covered entirely. TFR go for days and weeks and eventually months and years until they become permanent or indefinite. You can do it in DC, you can do it anywhere. Before you know it, drone flights is heavily restricted nationwide unless you get permission from the government.
