Airspace security measures are employed during certain high-profile events. This paper discusses the airspace security measures employed during two such events: the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. An assessment was made of several of the impacts that these measures had on the National Airspace System and its users. A comparison of these impacts with those assessed for two previous events, the United Nations General Assembly meetings held in 2007 and 2008 are also presented.
