I thought it was glowbull warming we should be afraid of?
I’m not sure how many people realize this but with some of the commercially available drones, it would be very easy to send these drones into a crowded stadium. It wouldn’t take much of a “payload” to create utter havoc.
Going to need a bigger wall.

articles on drone weaponry and counter-drone abilities.
The dangers are real, and the need for strict controls.
Darn shame.
When was the last time we had a cabinet secretary who gave a hoot about ANYTHING going on that can hurt the country let alone writing an article about it to call attention to a big problem? Good for her. She’s doing her job and the libs/weasels can’t stand it!
We could also work on technology to steer meteors into the path of the Earth so that the devastation will destroy all of the infrastructure necessary for the creation and deployment of drones.
Best of all would be to develop ways to funnel taxpayer money to financial institutions so that whatever happens the banksters will not have to go to jail or lose any of their illgotten gains.
Can you imagine drones in the hands of hillary’s goons?
Everything that seems like a good idea under a Republican administration gets exploited and used to target innocent Americans under a dem one. See the Patriot Act.
Not saying we don’t need to address this, but needs careful consideration.
Encryption and ultra wide band spread spectrum.
Free skeet lessons and ammo.
Waiting for the muzzies to start.
I wonder if drones will be banned for public recreational use in America. There is no constitutional right to own a drone.
No amount of bureaucratic hand-wringing and regulations will protect us from people with evil intent. And as technology evolves it will be possible for people with evil intent to use that technology in bad ways.
Most of the schemes that the DHS secretary mentioned would impose great burdens on legitimate users, or create a vast and complicated bureaucratic process, without deterring or preventing individuals, groups, or nation states with bad intentions.
Security approaches that focus on people work, those that focus on machines don't.
We just need personal protection drones (or drone swarms).
2nd A. relevance?
Drones come in handy more than most people realize.
Take a gander at some drone videos out of Syria and Iraq. This is a very real threat. There are countermeasures that I no doubt are deployed at major American events.
I’m quite sure the government will, in it’s infinite wisdom, decide that in order to own a drone, you’ll have to be licensed and otherwise controlled.
FAA is going to require ID + location transmitters on them. See link.

Just pass a law requiring every gun owner in the US to fire his/her weapon into the air 5 times a day at random times.
That’ll keep the drone herd well and truly culled.
Write it up as a tax. SCOTUS has already said that congress can pass anything, no matter how stupid or destructive, as long as it’s called a tax, right Mr. Roberts?
