The Federal Aviation Administration has temporarily banned drone operations over parts of New Jersey until mid-January and warned that the government may respond with “deadly force” against drones that pose a threat.

Beginning on Wednesday and through Jan. 17, unmanned aircraft are barred from flying within a nautical mile of specified airspace outlined in an FAA Notice to Airmen, or NOTAM.

The government may use “deadly force” against the drones if they present an “imminent security threat,” the NOTAM said.

Has the FAA been given the authority to call strikes in US airspace? They need a raise. They might at least wait for the pertinent government office to make that call before they publish anything. Unlessz they think they are the pertinent office.

I've noticed recently that the 'woke' media is woefully behind the grammar curve when it comes to FAA acronyms.

E.g., a NOTAM is no longer described as a "Notice to Air[men] (hawk, spit, projectile vomit). Rather, it is
currently described as a "Notice to Air Missions!"

I would have thought the MSM would eschew the misogyny of previous, Neanderthal acronyms and embrace the new twists in logic.

Newark is a poophole even the FAA agrees should be attacked by any means, worldly—or by aliens.

SOP create a crisis and then limit the rights of the law abiding citizens.

So sick of their playbook.

Given that drones are unmanned by definition, "deadly force" seems an inaccurate choice of phrasing.
