It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Expect it a lot more.
Late Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration abruptly ordered El Paso International Airport to close for ten days.
El Paso is America’s 23rd largest city. And, in a country that treats canceled flights as human rights violations and where delayed or rerouted commercial and cargo flights can cost domestic businesses millions of dollars in direct and indirect losses, ten days sounds like an eternity.
What manner of foreign or domestic (or interstellar?) threat could cause such disruption?
