I don’t think this case is adequately explained by stupidity …. Could you elaborate as to why that is more rational than a cyber attack? Especially given the geopolitical climate and the multiple warnings about cyber attacks in the near future?

Because causing annoyances in US civilian air travel doesn't affect the military all that much

Oh. Ok. I’ll see myself out. I was trying to be logical but, yeah. Ok.

"There's no evidence for it but..." seems to be the constant statements in that piece, so wild guess pretty well fits

You know, to zoom out and give some perspective on my position, I really really hope you’re right and neither of our opinions matter :(
