Chasing Geese
As Wampum notes, the FAA airspace data system failure yesterday was closer to catastrophic than they want us to know.

Blowing our treasury reserves on running our military around the planet on wild goose chases, while this infrastructure collapses before our eyes, is the height of bipartisan folly.
