The only real problem here is if the bug-smasher violated restricted airspace around Cheney

Or did he? Sounds like they were in the middle of the step downs or step ups for landing or take off (7,500). If there was a TFR, it was probably around the airport of intended landing for AFII. If we start seeing floating TFRs that follow AFI and AFII, it's all over. From what I heard from a relative that flies in and out of PHX, TCAS warnings are pretty much a common event there. I'm guessing it's like that for any high traffic airport.
