Senator Gillibrand- We Don't Know What Technology Drones Are Using [View all]

Link to tweet

Sen. Gillibrand: I want to do much more. I'm very concerned that the FAA and the DOJ and Homeland Security aren't doing enough to assess whose drones these are and whether they are adversarial in any way. I think when they say something like, "Well, we have no evidence that they're foreign operators or adversarial or problematic," they don't have any evidence that it's not, right?

So I understand they want people to not be afraid, but they should be as concerned as I am because of these incursions over our bases in sensitive military sites. For two weeks, Langley had drone incursions, and it was the type of technology that our radar didn't detect them arriving.
