  The FAA can command the USAF?

    Not directly, but depending on the airspace you are violating you might end up meeting some people who have absolutely zero chill

    They don’t command them, but they call them in like you call the police.

      Why would they send jets before trying different frequencies?

      Seems like too rapid of an escalation imo

        I think switching to a frequency that a different region uses could be dangerous, since then the airplanes near do border would receive the signal but the airport wouldn’t. This could lead to misscommunications.

        Also, the airline pays for the jets.

    I mean there was that Chinese balloon last year that was literally shot down by a F-22 so… yes?

    As they’re part of the federal government’s executive branch, kind of?

  They have no jurisdiction in Europe though.

    Air space is regulated and enforced here too. Even for drones.
