I doubt it.

Please don't. I talk with the ATF HQ on a regular basis as part of my day job (I'm a display and hobbyist pyrotechnician and President of the PGI). Private discussions have them worried about this (among a million other things). The FAA already releases NOTAMS when the Prez is going to be in an area (these to the RC groups - grounds them while he is in town). Not fiction or speculation at all.

They have real threats to worry about. Rental trucks and commercial airliners,
And the TFRs that you refer to apply to all aircraft. They aren't directed specifically at RC ones.
