Trapped where? Airports are busy enough without delays.

The future of terrorism is digital. They will one day be hacking and controlling our cars, planes and trains.

About a year ago they changed NOTAMs from Notices to Airmen to Notices to Air Missions.

Take a wild guess why.

We aren’t third world yet, but we have definitely dropped into second-world status, and unfortunately this is only a single reason out of many.
