DRONES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

[Carsman]

In the news today!
And so the dangerous side of Drones Saga begins!

The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning Americans about the potential threat of terrorists using weaponized drones as possible means to attack commercial aircrafts in America. The updated bulletin also included warnings of chemical attacks.

(As mentioned previously, if only used by LE's, that would not be so much of a problem.)

Thanks for the info Cars. It's not hard to imagine some bad people attempting to do bad things with drones, if given the opportunity. It's good to read that the DHS appears to be thinking proactively about the potential and taking preventative action.

Well DHS has good intentions, but taking preventative action will likely be next to impossible against (dangerous) drone users.

Since drone user's don't have to be registered, and or need to file "flight plans", tracking and or investigating the users (if they are law abiding or not) will not be viable.

I'm afraid it's going to take a horrific terrorist action using a drone before serious DHS crackdown actions will occur!

I know it's a pessimistic outlook, but unfortunately that's today's world we now live in.
