Acting Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe claimed agents couldn’t fly a drone due to connectivity issues. However, former President Donald Trump’s shooter had no problem doing it before the rally.

That's a possibility. It's the video that shows the building the shooter was on from before the shooting to after.
“At hearing. FBI apparently was not aware that a drone was offered by local. I am sure you can rest assured they are looking into it.”
Amazing how many things FBI and Rowe are still not knowledgeable about.
WOW!
Military drones typically use RF data links. If the Secret Service is placing the protection of the president in the hands of Alibaba bargain basement specials, perhaps that should be reviewed?
If might be that the USSS drone depends on the poor coverage of FirstNet (AT&T government cellular) where the shooter’s drone operates soley on WiFi type comms.
Dang these silicone diodes.
Oh Rowe knew about it. He was asked if they were offered drones and he admitted it.
According to the hick in charge, WiFi sounds so much better than HiFi on our stereo sets.
>> How often do ‘connectivity’ problems arise in SS drone operations?
I imagine filling your agency with DEI hires too stupid to pour pee out of a boot might make for more frequent “operator error” in all sorts of technical operations, for example flying surveillance drones.
If you know what I mean (and I think you do).
Excuse doesn’t make sense.
Rowe is SS, not FBI.
>> It’s almost like the Secret Service is trying to be as nonsensical as possible.
Hey, coordinating a fake story (a. k. a. “en masse network of lies”) across an entire set of federal agencies is HARD! They’re doing the best they can, given their general DEI incompetence!
Thats’s ridiculous...
On the news last night, the amount of protection given by federal agencies was reported.
One of the assets is a drone that has the ability to jam control signals of private drones flown in no-fly areas over the festivities. They are forced down.
I know this is a huge community festival and larger scale than a campaign rally. None the less, why wasn't even a simple drone, let alone one as capable as the one in Seattle, flown over the rally of a major national political candidate who happens also to be a former US president?
“I call BS. You don’t need WiFi or cellular data to use your drone’s GPS features,”
Exactly right. It’s an RF datalink from the drone to your controller.
But maybe they wanted to send the video stream from the drone to the Unified Command Center? But wouldn’t they have their own local RF channels for doing that? Why would they depend on commercial cellular data?
StingRay cell-site simulators such as StingRays are widely used by law enforcement in the U.S., U.K. and Canada. The government can throw those up anywhere it wants.
“Military drones typically use RF data links. “
Military drones use combination links. RF/Cell/Satellite.

Simple answer: because the subject is a Republican named Donald Trump who must be stopped from destroying “our democracy” by any means necessary.
“Exactly right. It’s an RF datalink from the drone to your controller.”
He was wrong. You are wrong.
WTF? IIRC, Wifi converts the wav. signals from HiFi to compressed signals. It's like listening to the compressed frequencies in a cassette to the LP wav. signals. Even CD's have a better frequency directly from the stereo than WiFi. I could be wrong, but then I go all the way back to 8 track tapes which were awful.
BS is right. These people have more excuses for "what happened" than Hillary Clinton.
