When it comes to one of the country’s most sensitive and technically demanding government jobs, however, the Trump administration is quietly humming a different tune. I obtained documents showing that the Federal Aviation Administration is looking into the possibility of hiring foreigners as air traffic controllers. “The FAA is facing significant air traffic controller staffing shortages, and to address this issue, is exploring the idea of recruiting experienced international talent,” states a three-page executive summary of the initiative, which has not been previously reported.

A U.S. official involved in the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a matter that had not been made public, told me that the FAA’s security experts are “losing their minds” over the prospect of turning foreign nationals into key nodes of the United States aerospace system. Of particular concern is the access they could gain to radars and communications networks as well as sensitive information about military flight paths, restricted airspace, and air-defense zones.

Make American Not Safe Again, and again, and again. Trump and his crew clearly know nothing about national security (ahem Hegseth).
