Forbidden to fly over Disney parks US Why?

But, since 2003 , the ban extends to the Disney parks , every day of the year and 24 hours a day.It is called "temporary restriction zone" for flights.The logical thing is to think that it is done for safety reasons, since the parks they are an American symbol and many people gather in them.So, why is the airspace not protected over the Universal's parks, for example? The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is the administrative entity that decrees the flight restrictions and they affirm that they have never requested such a thing for the Disney parks .It was the pressure of politicians related to the company that got that in 2003 the temporary restriction was decreed.

The company Disney says it is for security reasons ; but the pilots of advertising planes have another opinion .The restriction covers a perimeter of 5 km around the parks and the above-mentioned pilots affirm that in reality this restriction is to prevent that they fly over the parks with their light aircraft and his ads .Aircraft pilot associations denounced that even before the 2001 attacks, Disney had tried to prevent them from flying over their parks with advertisements.They finally got it and now they are trying to reverse the situation.

Security experts believe that the fact that it is forbidden to fly over Disney parks has only a deterrent effect and that if someone wanted to Attempting the ban on them, practically, would not be an impediment.What do you think?
