So what's the deal? Some creepy, drug drone was tooling around El Paso so they decided to zap it with some new fangled laser and in abundance of caution closed off airspace in El Paso and bum fudge New Mexico for ten days?
This sounds like a repeat of the FAA v FCC pissing contest from a few years back regarding 5g cell signals and their affect on radar altimeters. From personal experience, I can tell you the FAA is extremely difficult to work with, very entitled. I found them to be checklist minded, it's like they don't get paid to think. I also found the FAA folks to have more job dissatisfaction than any other USG organization I ever worked with. Individually I worked with some great FAA engineers, but the FAA culture needed work.
