FAA To Southwest: Here, Hold My Beer
No sooner had my trickle of Southwest Airlines memes dried up then a whole new batch flooded in like a digital version of an atmospheric river from the sodden Pacific. This time, it was the failure of the NOTAMs system. Shocked was I to learn that (a) so many people didn’t know that it’s now Notices to Air Missions, not to Airman and (b) that a single misplaced 0 or 1 could take down the world’s most efficient and safe airspace system that (c) turns out to be neither.

I live in Hawaii. I was here when an individual hit the wrong button on his computer and a warning went out to everyone that a ballistic missile was inbound, ETA 17 minutes, and this was not a drill. People in Waikiki were jumping down manhole covers. The Governor initially refused to identify the miscreant because he didn't want him to become a scapegoat. I wonder who the culprit is this time, and why he hasn't been fired. This is on the FAA, not the contractor.
The FAA is in charge of detecting incoming missiles?

Dept. of Defense -=> FEMA - no FAA involvement.
