pudoc and rivverrock83 is correct.

This "Olympics Airspace" will severely affect and even stop pleasure flying, flight training, aircraft charter, aerial filming and many other GA operations.
False. If you file a flight plan and have a transponder equipped aircraft you may fly into the Restricted Area. What exactly is it here that you are complaining about? Do you just want to continue flying as and when you please without squawking or talking to anybody?

Most of the affected people are highly experienced and known to the authorities.
More the contrary. Most of the affected people are not known to the authorities.

We want Exemptions.
Exemptions are already available. There will be lots of GA activity filming the Olympics events for example. Air ambulances will still continue flying.

If you want to file a petition, I suggest doing so with accuracy, else it will be rejected.
