Serious question, do states have that ability? Is there a state vs federal airspace that gives power to the governor to intercept/eliminate a device at 60,000’ without Federal “permission”? There are air national guard units. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana_A ... onal_GuardThat doesn’t answer my question. Maybe the physical ability, yes. But the legal authority? They have missiles. They ARE the authority.

Sometimes I think y'all aren't reading my posts. (see previous page) EDIT: It is interesting that ABC refers to South America as "Latin America". I always thought that moniker to apply largely, or mostly to Central America. Are folks of Portugee/Brazilian descent, "latin"?

Basically anything South of the United States is Latin America.

Yeah, a missile to take out a balloon. A couple of 7.62 or .50 (what's the smallest thing an F-fighter carries?) would have probably done it?
