No such thing happened.



All ATC personnel
have military security clearance.


I have an FBI security clearance, not military. Huge difference.





In the event of attack,
ATC is expected to provide service to the military.


There are no such standing orders. 9/11 proved that beyond a shadow of
a doubt.




If it
wasn't for the airline and GA user, the services ATC
provides the military would still be needed and the budget
would come solely from the military budget.

If it wasn't for the airlines and GA 99% of ATC wouldn't be needed at all.




As far as controlled airspace, I still have my old charts
that show a few 10 mile wide airways isolated in most
western states. Today, the same places are all controlled
above 1200 feet. But traffic did not increase, it was just
the FAA budget.


Better take a look at your charts of the western US again. We have
tremendous amounts of class G, within 35 miles of my class C airport the
class E doesn't start until 10,000. And there's a hell of a lot more
traffic out here now than 50 years ago.



Why do you think the FAA was designed to do what it does?

Airlines.
