"Follow the rules" fails. Someone checks for TFRs. There are none. Leaves their house and goes out. TFR is issued. When will the drone pilot get notification of the TFR?

Alternative. Drone and drone controller receive ADS-B signal with aircraft approaching. Drone reduces altitude and pilot gets warning that a plane or helicopter hidden by trees or hills is approaching. No need for a temporary rule that is issued through unavailable channels.
