The federal government lifted the airspace restrictions over downtown Chicago, thus reigniting the war of words over Meigs Field closure. While I support closing Meigs, I would have preferred it not be done in the middle of the night and for the Mayor to simply say because it is more valuable as park land. The security argument is silly. Friends of Meigs responded by saying:
"I don’t see how anybody can seriously think there’s a security risk if Homeland Security doesn’t think there’s a legitimate threat,"
Well, they have a lot more faith in the Department of Rainbows than I do.
