  The updates make the story even more bizarre, IMO. NORAD says everything is fine, who told the FAA to suspend?

    From the original article: > The NORAD spokeswoman said the normal sequence following the launch was followed: The missile launch was detected, and it was assessed not to be a threat to the continental United States. The standard practice is for FAA to have a constant liaison in the NORAD ops center, therefore would have been aware of the quick assessment. I presume the "quick assessment" is not an instant assessment, and the FAA rep present may have passed on the "there's a missile and they're assessing right now" to HQ while it was going on.
