Boy, I sure love having people with zero competence making consequential decisions. There was widespread confusion in El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday morning when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced and then abruptly reversed a 10-day shutdown of the airspace around the El Paso International Airport in Texas.

According to AP, the shutdown was announced in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with “special security reasons” being the only explanation provided by the FAA.
