Knockout blow to Duffy's dignity on live TV over bad mic: 'I hope it's not antiquated'
A rawstory.com news article reports that a faulty microphone derailed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's briefing on Friday's nationwide ground stop, prompting CNN to cut away and Wolf Blitzer to quip that he hoped the mic wasn't "antiquated technology" from the '70s or '80s. FAA head Bryan Bedford says about 12,000 flights were lost in the more-than-four-hour halt, while Duffy blames aging equipment and asks Congress for $50 billion to upgrade air traffic control.
