> the order extended no-fly zones to ground vehicles belonging to the Department of Homeland Security. Even while the vehicles were in motion. Even if they were unmarked. And even if their routes had not been announced.

I want to know the genius who wrote this, and the mastermind who approved it.

Do no-fly zones extend indefinitely upwards? If so, can you build a no-fly wall out of cars?

  • The federal government doesn't need a row of cars to make a no-fly wall.

    As we learned in El Paso in February, if the federal government wants a no fly zone, it can just create one.

    • But if the no-fly zones are arbitrarily mobile, the drivers can create a no-fly wall without intervention from the federal government.

  • The article states 1,000 vertical feet. Obviously this is targeting small drones and not commercial aircraft or even general aviation.

Someone who doesn't get that we're supposed to have a representative government with enumerated powers in this country.

Or maybe they do get that, but find it incredibly inconvenient to their own aspirations.
