Why did the government shut down El Paso’s airport?


Listen Later

The El Paso airport was shut down late Tuesday night after the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) fired an anti-drone laser at an object flying near the border. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered all flights grounded and closed the airspace up to eighteen thousand feet for a period of ten days in response. Or at least that was the plan until the FAA reversed course eight hours later and reopened everything. While the airport shutdown is unlikely to happen again and appears to have been more due to petty squabbling than a genuine threat, it would be a mistake to write the event off as inconsequential. The same is true of our pride when the Lord holds us accountable for our own shortcomings.
