> The FAA imposed a rare nationwide ground stop on Friday, suspending all takeoffs and landings at US airports for just over four hours. It was the longest nationwide shutdown, and only the second halt of all departures, since the 9/11 attacks. Homeland security secretary Markwayne Mullin and transportation secretary Sean Duffy appeared to suggest outdated technology caused the outage.
