The Federal Aviation Administration lifted the temporary closure of airspace over El Paso on Wednesday morning, abruptly reversing course after grounding flights for 10 days only hours earlier.

“There is no threat to commercial aviation,” the agency said on social media. “All flights will resume as normal.”

In a move that appeared to surprise state and local officials, the agency late Tuesday night halted all flights to and from El Paso International Airport for 10 days for “special security reasons,” isolating a major American metropolitan area from air travel. The closure went into effect at 11:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday and was to remain in place until 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 20.

Incompetence is American as apple pie used to be, and salsa now is. Do that's probably the culprit. barring that:

1.)A test? How do people react if at all?

2.)Yes, I believe in intelligent life not from our planet and I'm a firm believer the Americans, Brits, Japanese and Russians have a bit of knowhow in that also.

According to a social media post by the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, Mexican cartel drones breached U.S. airspace, prompting temporary closure of airspace over El Paso. The Defense Department took action to disable the drones, Mr. Duffy said. Another person familiar with the situation had described the cause of the shutdown as a test of anti-drone technology. It is unclear if the brief airport closure was directly related to the presence of drones or how the technology was deployed. NYT
