I was going from channel to channel trying to find out WHY we were not being shown the motorcade from the air. Just a ground shot here and there. And now CNN says it is "restricted" air space. I demand to know WHY it is restricted! This is not acceptable! Americans should have every right to watch this funeral and grieve as they see fit! For what reason would the FAA not allow us to do so?

Uh, security? Why can't you be satisfied with a ground shot? Why are you entitled to a view from the air?

Are you serious?

What makes you think that you as an average ordinary citizen have the *right* to view something as personal as one's funeral. There are still things that are sacred in this world and a funeral and going through the loss of a loved one is one of those things.

You have the right to free speech. You do NOT have the right to view someone's funeral. Any part of it that is shared with the public is a privilege and should be treated as such.

KevK, I really don't understand why you're so outraged.

I think he's just kidding (see his classic 'Bathe a Possum' thread in "Pets" with many responses!)

Today is the private service. I think tomorrow is the public service. I suppose that are giving the Kennedy family as much privacy as possible.

Wow, really? It's your right to see the motorcade? Can you show me exactly in the Constitution where that right is addressed?
