replyGood thing they allocated 10 days of airspace shutdown for taking out a single (edit: or a few) drone(s).
replyI get the feeling this was a case of really wanting to test a new weapon combined with general organizational dysfunction for something unusual like this.
On CNN, they talked about how a shutdown like this would be the first time something like this has happened since 9/11. Is that really correct?
How do we know it was a "single" drone, or that they knew for sure that it was?
replyIndeed.
replySo with this lack of information: Why 10 days? Why not 3, or 12, or some other number instead?
Or: Why must there be a number?
Is the officious equivalent of "We've got some shit to deal with, so El Paso's airspace is closed for now" insufficient?
