OK, I’m a flight instructor (necessarily a commercial license). This area is already 100% “only those operating with a clearance to be there.” What is there to gain by making it explicitly a TFR? Well, that’d be the barking dog of “and we’re not going to write any permissions, either,” but that was already what the tower controllers at Lambert were able to make happen without the TFR.
The local police directing this TFR action is probably the most interesting part of this exercise. More power has gone to the local police; more coordination with the Federales.

It’s definitely class B airspace from the surface to 8,000 AGL whereas the TFR only goes from the surface to 3,000.
I guess aircraft transiting in and out of STL are okay to transit through the TFR.
I’m surprised the local police can direct a TFR.
Exactly. The “do not” below 3000 got my attention. It’s like, well,,duh!
