The media is raising concerns about a drone bombing at the 58th Presidential Inauguration on Friday.
On Thursday's "Today" show, a report indicated that U.S. Secret Service has put in place several anti-drone efforts out of concern that an I-inspired "flying IED" will smash into the crowd, or worse.
The report quoted an official from a drone countermeasure firm saying that the Inauguration "is not something I would feel safe at."
Reports of violent protests and attacks has Washington on edge, though past threats have never come.
But the "Today" show report, headlined "Drone Danger At Inauguration? Dealing with a new high-flying security threat," noted that drone bombs have been seen flying over coalition forces in Iraq at least once a day.
"When strapped with a bomb, a worse case scenario especially with hundreds of thousands of people gathered at one spot like the Inauguration," the report said.

BTTT
I’m sure they have multiband EM-band jamming, and lased/ballistic/drone-based antidrone measures.
Scum media trying to suppress inauguration attendance.
Any crowd can be drone bombed, not just the inauguration.
I think the media is just trying to stir up fear, so that turn out will be low.
More media "creating" the story.

The FakeNews folks really are working hard to get people panicked
We are all thinking the same thing, media scare tactic to suppress attendance!
Sometimes the media should just shut up.
I have never seen anything like this before. The media has become animalistic with hate.
Fixed!
Technically speaking, Barky Obola can authorize a drone strike up until 11:59:59 ET.
So is this the extremist RATaganda media threatening normal US citizens...or the CIA?
If they knew it was true, they sure as hell wouldn’t warn us, they’d just cover the carnage with glee...cameras already in place.
Any attack on Trump/Pence will be met by millions of armed and motivated American patriots.
Beware of what you wish for, Leftists.
One F-18G or E-2 overhead could block all UAV frequencies.
Translation: the protest marches are looking like a huge flop.
The media are in their death throws.
Either that or a chopper with a shotgun on board would probably work pretty well.
Maybe this is why the petulant liberals are not attending. I think all liberal congress attending should be checked out for bomb vests.
