All aircraft is grounded- including no med evacs, no military flights at the nearby military base, no cargo flights etc.

The NOTAM says the govt can use deadly force for non compliant aircraft.

That is wild.

Nancy Guthrie related? 4 hrs 40 minutes drive Tucson to El Paso. Call it for 10 days, but if concludes on day 3 then back open. That's what came to my mind.

Don't think so; most speculation:

- Nearby (Mexico) military action (on ground)
- Military GPS testing
- Nuke testing
- Unknown imminent threat
- VIP transport/protection

The GPS thing I think has some legs; saw a few things saying the GPS testing could affect electronics and the testing is within the time period. But, who knows?

Its since been lifted and didn't last very long.
Word around here is the FAA did it and didn't even tell the Mayor or Congresswoman from El Paso. Not sure if its true but damn.
And granted El Paso Airport is not a big airport but its still and International stop. How do you shut it down for 10 days?
Closes one would then be (for many on this side of TX and NM) Would be Mid-Land Odessa for TX and Albuquerque for Southern NM.
