The first stage of the SMART rollout had been working fine since late September in DC and parts of Florida. They deployed that stage to the rest of the country on the 10th and it worked fine for 3 days.

Given that, I'll withhold judgement until I hear more.

    When you're the FAA, you still don't decommission the old system until the new one has been in production for a long time. They left themselves without a fallback position.
