NOW: Officials are LOOKING INTO whether a new AI air traffic control system rolled out today is linked to the nationwide ground stop. When a reporter raised the reports, Markwayne Mullin said, “We are looking at that,” and said they are working with counterparts across every agency. He says there are NO PLANES IN THE AIR that the FAA can’t talk to. Communications are still working, just at lower levels of clarity, and there is redundancy built in. He also says TWO AREAS inside the United States are communicating just fine, but he won’t say which ones. If a brand new system knocked out the whole country on day one, Americans deserve to know.

So the FAA orders airlines grounded indefinitely due to “communications issues?”
Just say it’s a cyber attack without saying it’s a cyber attack.
We’re not stupid.
