The Failing New York Times reports “the brief shutdown was related to a new counter-drone technology by the military at nearby Fort Bliss Army base.”
Note this statement does not address any grading of competence.
But @Lawman loves him!This is what happens when you have a drunk running the DOD

Is Road Rules still leading the FAA? How could anything go wrong?
Ahh yes, equal incompetence. I'm sure they'll both pray on it later and make it all better.Bryan Bedford of Republic airways fame is the FAA administrator.
Road Rules heads up the DOT,
It was so funny. Weeks of him ranting at us being brainwashed by the liberal media about oil and then Trump comes out and says “we’re taking back the oil!”Bro, we needed to shutdown the airspace because the drug cartels, bro. They’re smuggling nukes in the drugs with drones, bro. Pete Kegseth told me so, you aren’t privy to the milbro mil-speak, bro.
Kind of funny he hasn’t shown his face around here in weeks.

Nah, that would require some self-awareness and reflection, not things in evidence in his history here.Bro, this time regime change is going to actually WORK, bro!
What a clown. He’s probably too embarrassed to come back.

Live updates: Trump administration ties El Paso airspace closure to Mexican cartel drones
The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas. A Trump administration official tied the closure to Mexican cartel drones.apnews.com
Let's assume for a moment that it was indeed a 'cartel drone' or two that was the issue. There would seem to be a level of incompetence or lack of training/preparedness here to issue a 10 day closure without explanation. For hours, letting a closure stand sans explanation of one of the largest airports in the United States for...drones?
AliensThe congress woman for El Paso has already come out saying they were told something different than cartel drones and has no idea wtf they’re talking about
