The American security state is beholden to no one. They do what they want.

Get real, do you really think they are going to actually sell drones to FIB and DHS knowing full well those particular drones are going to be “gone over with a fine tooth comb”? Those drones wouldn’t be the ones China would use to spy on us.
Another thing, you just flippantly said that it was no big deal about the Chinese government buying up US land near military bases. And here you state that China is our enemy.
You make no sense.

I thought the NDAA forbade this.

Yeah, but my drill doesn't usually tell Xi Jinping what color pajamas I am wearing Yes, but if he wanted it to, it would tell him who you have been drilling, and where.

Thank you, that’s at least a straight answer.

“The drones can be disassembled and gone over with a fine-tooth engineering comb.”
So buy half a dozen from Amazon and do it.
Our government is run by traitorous morons.

You can bet those drones know how to “phone home” and fail at just the wrong instant (on signals from afar).

Power tools do not have the capacity to transmit data to China. Are you sure about that? Have you checked?

Never seen any. I did buy a John Deere compact diesel tractor in 1999 that had Chinese parts and a Japanese Yanmar diesel, so what’s your point, asking for a friend?

I’ll bet the Chines have put in a secret on/off software switch in case we go to war with them and behold ... instant crash.

DJI is famous for “phoning home” to China, and their phone apps are spyware. Will map your entire home network, send details to china. God knows what other capabilities and trojans they will subject your network to. They’re seriously clever.
Needs to be banned.

Haha. Tha would be the height of tinfoil hat-ness. Taking apart my circular saw to see if there was a secret transmitter sending my cuts back to Beijing.

My new gas oven has Wi-Fi features. ‘Just hook up and make it an air fryer too’ is the pitch. Turn off the pilot turn on the gas late at night, easy enough. I have used scales, sphigmonometers, Oximeters, cameras, and of course cell phones which all have Wi-Fi capability. It is believed that pacemakers can be remotely accessed, which means you are dead at a whim if you have one. They can put that technology into anything now. Certainly a power drill can be accessible to the Internet and therefore by anyone.
God forbid that people would actually use that Alexa shit.

Depending on what class drone they’re operating, there actually isn’t any non-Chinese manufacturer that’s anything approaching price competitive. Unfortunately.

If the drone includes a link to a smartphone or tablet for control or to see the camera take, the smartphone or tablet app *can* do the relaying using the built in cell radio.

Guess what....it’s all still there. Not a square millimeter was carried off to Japan. Nuttery.
A fair chunk of that property was purchased at the height of a real estate boom also, and many (not all) Japanese purchasers, individuals and corporations alike, defaulted on them.
Just putting that out there.
