@mattblaze my bad, my Texas geography knowledge was lacking.

@mattblaze @tinker @jianmin My only two guesses verge on the conspiratorial, but these days that could be very likely.
@SteveBellovin @tinker @jianmin I’m hard pressed to understand how disrupting life in and the economy of the well known radical leftist bastion of El Paso, TX owns the libs, but you never know.

@mattblaze @tinker @jianmin My two guesses: it has something to do with mass deportation flights, or it's a practice run for punishing larger blue area. But I think that @cstross has it right: the airport will be involved in or close to a military operation in Mexico.

A particularly weird thing about this is that if it were about protecting something on the ground, you would expect there to also be all sorts of things being done on the ground, with local police, etc. But there’s nothing. It’s just the FAA, so far.
@mattblaze there’s a 2nd TFR on the border to the west in NM

@mattblaze @SteveBellovin @tinker @jianmin reports are now that there's a drone "engagement" with mexican "cartels" but of course that would mean the US is almost in a hot war, which would be bad or an excuse for something else. and NOW they're lifting it, saying no harm/no foul.

FAA just announced a 10 day emergency temporary restricted area for a 10 mile radius around El Paso. No flights are permitted from ground level to 18000 feet, grounding all flights to/from the El Paso airport (KELP).
Designed as “national defense airspace”, with “deadly force authorized if aircraft determined to pose a security threat”.
No reason given
I just read that it isn't only El Paso airspace but other US airports as well.
Santa Teresa in New Mexico and New Orleans had similar orders.

Update: TFR appears to have been lifted, effectively immediately.

no
this is beyond "i'm going to whine and extort you because you hurt my feelings"
this has deeper currents of malice (potentially: of course i have no fucking clue what is going on. but since it's a MAGA thing it could be quite bad)
for a regular administration, the notice might lift, life carries on, and we never find out the national security reason
for this administration, the reason might be stupid and/ or corrupt
@benroyce @EthicalProfessor @mattblaze definitely corruption, that's 24/7 cycle for this admin

@mattblaze Well, yes, mis-something, definitely.
Hopefully not a harbinger of things to come.

@mattblaze the 2nd TFR is still in effect

A slip of some DJT appointee's botoxed lips.

@markrsmith @mattblaze
Yeah, looks like it's made right after the El Paso one and has the same duration. Maybe El Paso was a typo? 😐 -

@SteveBellovin @mattblaze @tinker @jianmin @cstross That's also my guess, but as Matt says the Trump regime is so monumentally clumsy and incompetent, you can never rule out Trump having blurted out something certifiably insane yesterday, and the rest of them having fallen into line for their King.
Like I dunno, maybe he just wants 5,000 fresh burritos for his gold-plated industrial-sized freezer, and no-one dared point you can get those in Texas? 🤔🤷🏻♂️

@markrsmith and another to the east near Fort Hancock, along the border. But these are small and don’t include any major airports. Much more normal.

@mattblaze The airfield reported that item V1098, offog, one, came apart under gravitational stress.

@mattblaze
The TFR on the New Mexico side is still live, covers 30nm along the border maybe 15nm deep.

Europa Report non lo conosco, vedo di recuperarlo. Grazie mille per il consiglio!

@ballalloi sì, nel 2026 un bel treno merci o come seconda scelta un camion mi sembra più pratico, anche e soprattutto per chi lo guida, di un mulo :)
comunque concordo, la consegna next day è la rovina dell'umanità

Speciale TG5: "Sotto Traccia - Parlano gli 007"
Gli esperti DIS, AISE, AISI raccontano l'evoluzione dai conflitti lineari alle minacce ibride e cibernetiche: il lavoro "sotto soglia" per proteggere la sovranità digitale ed economica, l'importanza delle fonti OSINT e il ruolo dell'IA, che supporta ma non sostituisce l'intuizione umana. L'Italia come modello globale nella sicurezza, grazie a una lunga esperienza nel contrasto a terrorismo e criminalità.

@skyfaller @ptvirgo back when it was alive I played around with sugar on different hardware and it wasn't bad: if the project is actually alive and not just on life support it may be worth looking into it
