The FAA closed El Paso's airspace after the Defense Department tested anti-drone technology without proper assessment of risks to commercial airlines. Officials dispute the Trump administration's claim that a drone incursion necessitated the closure. The closure was unusually long, raising questions about the administration's actions.
