It's more of counter-drone technology and practices.

If you want to skip the tweet from Ice Barbie, the actual press release can be read here. I wonder how much of the $115 million allocated for this will end up at the Strategy Group? It wouldn't be the first time that happened.

I responded to the survey. It was fine. If it helps the cause, so be it. If the Deep State were coming after me, they wouldn't waste time on a survey.

You missed the point. It doesn't matter what the FAA does as long as the FCC does not certify new DJI drones. But I updated my avatar, so I'll be protected.

Stefanik started as a typical mainstream congressperson. Prior to Trump, she was considered to be a moderate to conservative and was willing to cross party lines to get stuff done. She decided the way to get ahead was to hitch herself to Trump and went all in. She has learned that relationships...

The title of this post is misleading. The FCC did not roll back the ban on licensing new drones from foreign countries. The FCC had previously exempted a small list of drone vendors. The article linked by the OP referred to the Commerce Department, not the FCC.

That's the point. It's not applicable. The quote/unquote reason for blocking foreign drones was over vague and unproven security concerns. No one has ever accused Toyota of sending back data from cars on the road to Japan that could be used against the US. Huawei was added to the Entity List...

It's only a precedent when it applies to the case being argued. You picked cars as an example. There are numerous restrictions and limitations on how cars can be used. The argument being made by the government is that there is no legal usage for a foreign-made drone. They provide a way out...

AI would have drawn the chart correctly. I think the person who created the chart just transposed the titles for the incorrect sessions.

These are numbers that need to be presented to Congress.

That was the point. It was in response to something extreme. This isn't a black and white issue. It's situational.
