This is very curious as well as the timing.

Forbes ---> Latest Chinese Drone Update Could Cause Chaos Across U.S.

"Chinese drone makers DJI announced a software update this week for operators in the U.S.: they are taking the guardrails off all their drones. From January 13th, the geofencing function which prevented the drones from flying in restricted areas such as airports and military based will no longer operate."

"Instead, when flying in a restricted area the drone will simply issue a warning message, “placing control back in the hands of the drone operators” as the company puts it."
