Flight restrictions extended over Biden’s house in Wilmington, Delaware.

Temporary flight restrictions have been extended over Joe Biden’s house in Wilmington, Delaware.

There has been a one-mile radius Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) around the Biden home since he became Democratic nominee, at the request of the Secret Service.

But on 4 November that radius was expanded to three miles, and on Friday the order was extended until at least 11 November.

Violators face up to 12 months in federal prison or fines up to $100,000 (£76,000), in addition to having their pilot’s licence suspended or revoked.

The flight restrictions probably shouldn’t be seen as predicting any outcomes, as it’s normal to take precautions around high-profile political figures.

However, the security detail for a president-elect would certainly be bigger in size and scope – so if Biden does acquire that status we can expect his cover to increase.
