Ten days - "Special security"


Ten days is a very long time for a major airport to be closed.  WTF is going on?

UPDATE 08:36 am:




WTF?  Was it a typo meant to read 10 hours?  Was somebody being blackmailed or extorted by Trump and they caved?

From the AP:



I still think blackmail or extortion makes more sense.

UPDATE 09:03 am:  From an El Paso City Council Representative...




The FAA is said to have been worried about DOD (DOW?) counter-drone testing.  A high energy laser that could be used against drones was to be tested at a military base (Fort Bliss) near the airport.  I'm vaguely recalling an incident where some government agency was testing some weaponry near a parade??? So, yeah, I can see why the FAA would be concerned about high energy lasers being tested in the airspace over an airport.  JFC.  Pete Hegseth at his best.

UPDATE 09:19 am: Speaking of lack of communication...


LOL.  Bullshit.  These people are great with the off-the-cuff bullshit.
