BREAKING… Drone activity shuts down Stewart Airport

“I am now calling on Congress to pass the Counter-UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization act,” she said. “This bill would reform legal authorities to counter-UAS and strengthen the FAA oversight of drones, and would extend counter-UAS activities to select state and local law enforcement agencies.”

She said extending those powers to New York and its peers is essential. “Until those powers are granted to state and local officials, the Biden Administration must step in by directing additional federal law enforcement to New York and the surrounding region to ensure the safety of our critical infrastructure and our people,” the governor said.

Hmmmm. A federal "Bill" was already drafted before the current "drone crisis"?

Know what else is soon to be voted on in Congress? The FAA Reauthorization Act. Could this all be some high-tech bit of appropriations theater?

Tinfoil from rumor central:

Drones are ours and searching for traces of a dirty bomb somewhere on the east coast.

It’s a charade as Biden rips the country to shreds before Trump is inaugurated.

There are lots of people on this website screaming, 'THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO SOMETHING'.

It looks like they'll have their wishes fulfilled.

“Forget the spying on military bases. The Chinese already have satellites spying on military bases.”

Drones will give the Chinese street views, angle views, side views. More detailed views. Infrared views. Satellites only give flat views.

Sounds like we’re being played again.

Yep, very likely. They want to shove something bad through before they vacate the premises.

A local tower call? Like for “birds on runway”?

The China Drone companies are like: Hey kids, drones are the gift to ask for this Christmas.

So much free press. Wish that I had thought this one up.

“Officials at Stewart International Airport, located roughly 60 miles north of New York City, said they shut down their runways for an hour after the Federal Aviation Administration alerted them that a drone was spotted in the area around 9:30 p.m.”

Wasn’t Stewart where the late night migrant flights were going? Maybe this isn’t a bad thing to shut it down.

Alien 73468 to Alien Supreme Command:
See, I told you "they, their, and them" could not shoot down one of our space ships. Because "they, their, and them" cannot get "they, their, and them" brains out of "they, their, and them" DEI Bunkers!

This does sound like a possibility & something that a crook like Biden would do.
