Seems like it would've been easier to just throw the bodies in with the rest of the poorly searched debris they dumped in Fresh Kills landfill. No one is ever digging that place up again.
Are any of the existing EOs enough to allow POTUS to override the shutdown such as the state of emergency declaration, or would he have to issue a new EO or reveal one that may have already been issued. Does he have to issue an EO specifically to counter the shutdown?
This is an interesting theory especially when you consider that the latest Iridium NEXT launch (shown in red) deployed the satellites over Africa, look where they are now. Each one of these satellites has a Missile Defense Infrared imaging sensor based on the Space-Based Kill Assessment project.
I saw A-10s briefly pop up yesterday over Tucson but disappeared shortly off ADS-b. Again the variety and number of aircraft doing training sorties right now is unprecedented.
