Any serious foreign or domestic bad actors would run circles around the SS.

These hearings should terrify anyone who is “protected” by these clowns.

“i call BS. You don’t need WiFi or cellular data to use your drone’s GPS features,”

Drones DO use WiFi and cellular connections.

According to the hick in charge, WiFi sounds so much better than HiFi on our stereo sets.

“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.

BS is right. These people have more excuses for "what happened" than Hillary Clinton.

I watch many a youtube channels and they all seem to use a drone for the overhead shots. Maybe a youtuber can show the secret service how to use a drone...
