So there’s a situation where the DoD says “nah, it’s fine and we have a timeline to meet” and the FAA says “oh heckin’ no.”
Presuming this happens in an arbitrary administration and nobody’s being a cowboy, how should that disagreement be resolved and in what timeline?
It appears the chosen path here was skip over Concerned & Uncomfortable escalation directly into “yee-haw!” But maybe that was also less public.

¿Por qué no los dos?
I can see the FAA just yeeting out a closure because they were too lazy to deal with the DoD being a bunch of dinguses.

Moron. (Him, not you.)FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford on Tuesday night decided to close the airspace — without alerting White House, Pentagon or Homeland Security officials, sources said.
Airspace closure followed spat over drone-related tests and party balloon shoot-down, sources say
Pentagon officials had undertaken planning to use military technology near Fort Bliss, in El Paso, to practice downing drones.www.cbsnews.com
I wonder if he divested his shares like he said he would in his ethics agreement yet. (LOL.)

Not saying it's an excuse, but look at who we have in leadership

No, it was a spat between the DoD and the FAA. Army wanted to test some anti-drone laser cause they had a deadline but wouldn’t guarantee safety of civilian aircraft. FAA wanted them to hold off and the army didn’t want to so FAA dropped the tfr. Or at least, that’s seems to be the latest story.

Did you float in your boat in the bay during the Super Bowl? I saw some footage of sailing boats motoring around in the bay and I was wondering if you were amongst them. Uranus has nothing to thing to do with it.

As someone who has to work with various military entities in our airspace there has been a lot more "well we're going to do it so figure it out" lately. It may have been as simple as the ATM catching wind of it and not having enough background info to feel good about it which leads to what is most likely an overreaction. In my experience there is a lot of "just trust us bro" when we ask these types of questions though.
