Pew! Pew! Pew!

Texas airspace is closed, again, after another incident involving a laser a twitchy dumbass in a uniform. This time the threatening object was a Customs & Border Protection drone.

The U.S. military used a laser Thursday to shoot down a “seemingly threatening” drone flying near the U.S.-Mexico border. It turned out the drone belonged to Customs and Border Protection, lawmakers said.

The case of mistaken identity prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to close additional airspace around Fort Hancock, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of El Paso. The military is required to formally notify the FAA when it takes any counter-drone action inside U.S. airspace.

Fortunately, the cost of a drone is only slightly more than one banana. But significantly less than the DHS’ growing fleet of luxury jets.

I’d feel more comfortable rooting for injuries if there were no risk to people on the ground or in the air. But still. Root for injuries.
