for the record that movie is a comedic masterpiece

AND the first 15 minutes deserves to be enshrined into the Library of Congress

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.

On which one? The FAA or the Pentagon?

¿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.

Also, flight crews thinking they'd be stuck in El Paso...

“Is closing airspace because of an Army laser being an FAA nanny-state?! The answer might shock you!”

 

[Autothrust Blue]

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.

Moron. (Him, not you.)

I wonder if he divested his shares like he said he would in his ethics agreement yet. (LOL.)

Not a valid excuse in my book.

"Oh look, it defaults to 10 days"

"Maybe we should change that and not cause Wednesday morning chaos"

"Nah, let's send it"

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

I mean…there’s no good excuse for that either

Wait, is cartel drones the best answer we have so far?

Good thing drones fly over walls, otherwise I’d be concerned about ineffective defense mechanisms.

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.
