You asked, we answered: Guard deployments, air travel and Earhart's plane

We pulled some of your best comments and questions from our YouTube videos this week

and we're putting them to the test. This is Straight From You, where we fact-check claims, separate fact from fiction

and add context to what's murky. And here's what stood out this week

After our report on National Guard troops arriving in Chicago, a viewer asked, doesn't each state have its own National Guard

Why ship in troops from other states? Good question. All right, here's the answer, and it depends on who's giving the orders. I'll walk you through it

Each governor commands their own guard under state authority, called Title 32, or state active duty

But governors can also request help from other states through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact

That's how guardsmen cross state borders during disasters or civil unrest. When the guard is federalized under Title 10, control shifts to the president and the Pentagon

making them temporarily part of the active duty military. So yes, every state does have its own guard

but in emergencies or under federal orders, they can and do operate across state lines, all part of the same system

Okay, on to the next one. In our story on the FAA's modernization push, one viewer had a different idea

Why not let the airlines run air traffic control and security instead of the government

It's an idea that's actually been floated before, but has never really taken off, if you will

The first Trump administration pushed to privatize air traffic control, pointing to Canada motto called NAV Canada a non system funded by user fees that upgrades tech faster and stays out of politics Supporters said the U should follow suit

But critics warn that America's aerospace is far bigger and much busier

and that privatization could hurt smaller airports and drive up costs. The idea eventually stalled

Now even major airlines and the Air Traffic Controllers Union agree we should focus on modernizing the FAA

not replacing it. For now, that means new tech and more controllers, not a new system

All right, on to number three and our piece about the latest claim that Amelia Earhart's plane may

have been found. A viewer was not buying it, calling it driftwood. Well, that skepticism seems

fair enough based on history, right? So we dug deeper. Researchers from Purdue University and

the Archaeological Legacy Institute are heading to the western Pacific Island to investigate what

satellite images show as a Terriya object. See it there? A bright shape in a lagoon that might match

Earhart's 1937 Lockheed Electra plane. The team will use drones, sonar, and magnetic devices before

dredging the site, looking for serial numbers, unique metals, or anything traceable to Earhart's

plane. Similar claims in the past have turned out to be rock formations. So until there is hard

evidence, the verdict stays unproven. Hope that helps. That's science. Evidence over hype, as they

say. All right, keep dropping those comments and asking questions on our SAN YouTube page. We love

seeing them. We'll tackle the biggest ones next week on Friday
